untitled part 3a: occupied territories

Excerpts from two conversations, one with Abdel Majid Fadl Ali Hassan (in Bourg al Barajinah refugee camp, near Beirut), and the other with Nameh Hussein Suleiman (in Baddawi refugee camp, near Tripoli, Lebanon), two elder Palestinians that have been living in the camps in Lebanon since 1948. They discuss their forced displacement and the condition of their lives in a brutal permanent temporariness. Abdel Majid discusses issues of dispossession, and recites an eloquent poem told by the ruins of his house in Palestine where once he was allowed visit after his first 30 years of forced absence, and Nameh recounts her journey of exile and the present situation of her life.
