Refugees live in a state of limbo: their livelihoods and the possibility of resettlement largely depend on humanitarian jurisdiction. This disempowerment extends to their media presence-as subjects almost always on the periphery, reported and studied from afar. Subverting this order of power relations, this documentary places refugees firmly in the centre. Here, refugees are co-creators who record their lives in the camps. The real-time footage is then edited and soundtracked live by collaborators. As scenes from distant sites unfold in real time, the refugee experience materialises with unprecedented proximity and immediacy that lay bare the harsh realities of refugeehood.
