On the brink of the Syrian uprising, in the?refugee camp of Yarmouk, the Shebabs, a young close-knit collective of third-generation Palestinian refugees, are preparing for a future of profound uncertainty. Now facing?adulthood, they possess?a genuine thirst for life in constant confrontation with the?harsh realities of the camp?and their own sense of rootlessness.. THE SHEBABS OF YARMOUK is a poignant lament for the lost youth of Yarmouk, captured beautifully with a subtle sense of longing. Following the events depicted in the film, life in the?camp began to erode drastically. With conflicts between rebel and regime forces eventually leaving the camp in ruin, its surviving inhabitants are wandering the world as perpetual refugees.. Official Selection at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Winner of the RTP Award for Best Investigation Film at the Doclisboa International Film Festival, and the Regard Neuf Prize at Nyon Visions du R?el.. "Elegantly [alternates] between moments of intense conversation, poetic monologue, and subtle, symbolic observation and exploration ..." - Daryl Meador, The Electronic Intifada
