When I Saw You (film)

The world is alive with change: brimming with reawakened energy, new styles, music and an infectious sense of hope.In Jordan, a different kind of change is underway as tens of thousands of refugees pour across the border from Palestine.Placed in "temporary" refugee camps made up of tents and prefab houses until they would be able to return, they wait, like the generation before them who arrived in 1948.With difficulties adjusting to life in Harir camp and a longing to be reunited with his father, Tarek searches a way out, and discovers a new hope emerging with the times.Eventually his free spirit and curious nature lead him to a group of people on a journey that will change their lives.
