This probing and scrupulous documentary dives into the history of the relief agency founded to aid Palestinian refugees in the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and how it evolved to become an organisation at the centre of global scrutiny.
In the wake of October 7 massacre and explosive allegations implicating UNRWA staff in kidnappings, Israel severed legislative ties with the agency amid Gaza’s deepening humanitarian crisis, prompting a global fallout. Drawing on a wide lens of historical and political perspectives, insider’s testimony, and a rigorous use of archival footage, this documentary traces UNRWA’s 75-year evolution – from its origins as a temporary relief body to its enduring and controversial role in the region’s unresolved conflict – to brings its organisational dysfunction into focus and ask urgent questions about its legacy and future.
