FPN and CFL SJP present Gaza Film Night, as a part of our collaborative 2025 film series with a screening of Children of Shatila.

This documentary is told through the eyes of two children who live in the refugee camp of Shatila, Issa and Farah, this documentary explores the determination to keep family and dreams thriving in a landscape that has been sculpted by war, poverty, grief and displacement.

Issa, a little boy who lives with his grandfather, sustained severe injuries when he was hit by a speeding car and has trouble learning in school. Farah lives with her parents and two sisters. The children’s memories and history are shaped by the violence that surrounds them. Both have lost family in the massacres and attacks that followed the 1948 Diaspora and the 1982 invasion of Lebanon by Israel.

Mai Masri, the filmmaker gives Issa and Farah a small video camera to film their lives and learn how they see their own world.
