Following the October 7th massacre and allegations that UNRWA staff were involved in the kidnappings, the agency made headlines around the world.
This film presents a historical examination of UNRWA’s role—a temporary agency, initially mandated to resolve the refugee crisis following the 1948 war, which has never ceased its operations and, after 75 years, continues to perpetuate generations of refugees.
Winner of Haifa International Film Festival 2025 – Investigative Documentary Award. “The film excels in its comprehensive historical research, revealing new layers and diverse perspectives on the controversial relief organization UNRWA. Its impressive research work combines in-depth examination of sources, living witnesses, and rare archival documentation, weaving them into a rich, complex, and thought-provoking mosaic.” Festival Jury
