Set in the world’s largest refugee camp, Daddab, Warehoused describes the difficulties many refugees face in trying to seek resettlement, while being stuck in a state of limbo, often for most of their lives.
NNIRR questions for this film in addition to our media discussion guide:
- Whose responsibility is it to take in refugees? Neighboring countries? The international community?
- What are the best ways to provide aid? Additional funding for refugee camps? More infrastructure for developing countries that often take in the most refugees? Accepting more refugees into more developed countries like the US and in Europe? Large-scale intervention in the home country to prevent people from needing to flee?
- How does the media portrayal of refugees affect their livelihood and their chance at a better life through resettlement?
