17-year-old Khaldiya meditates on how the refugee camp has opened up new horizons and given her a sense of courage that she lacked in Syria. Filmed as part of a 3-month media workshop with Syrian girls living in Jordan's Za’atari Refugee Camp who documented their everyday lives – how it looks, feels and sounds from the ground, at the heart of their world.

Khaldiya, 18, is from Dara'a, Syria. She fled the civil war 3 years ago and now lives in Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan. This is her first film.
