UNRWA, an ‘apolitical’ agency, has nonetheless found itself at the heart of the most political debates of the century. This documentary examines its complex role: a lifeline for millions of Palestinian refugees or an unwitting instrument in a never-ending conflict? Through never-before-seen archives and exclusive testimonials, this documentary reveals the little-known story of UNRWA, inseparable from that of the Palestinian refugees. In the midst of turmoil, the agency fights for its survival, in the midst of a conflict whose outcome remains tragically uncertain.
