The Jacket
The Jacket is a portrait of Jamal Hindawi, a Palestinian man living in exile with his family in the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon.
Together with his friends, he makes political theatre about their deep connection to their homeland, Palestine, and their situation as refugees in the country they were born in, Lebanon. When Jamal undertakes a journey to recover a lost theatre prop, he sees how successive political and economic crises have disrupted an entire region and its people.
