GRAMNet Though I Know the River is Dry / The Shebabs of Yarmouk

Though I Know the River is Dry: caught between his brother's past and his child's future, one man's choice triggers catastrophe for his whole family. He has returned to Palestine. On the fraught road through the country he relives the choice that sent him to America and the forces of history now driving him home.

The Shebabs of Yarmouk - In Yarmouk (Syria) the Shebabs - a small group of boys & girls, have been friends since they were teens. Now on the eve of adulthood they have a genuine thirst for life, while being confronted with intricate life situations. Between the need for freedom and sticking to the group, between longing for revolt and the prospect of a well-ordered life, choices are hard to make: even more so when you're a Palestinian refugee in Yarmouk camp.
