Synopsis:
This film is a personal journey for a Palestinian diaspora filmmaker into the underground culture of a refugee camp and how a Black Palestinian bedouin tribe in the camp transforms the Dabkeh folkloric foot dance into a tool of economic and cultural survival in exile. To some in the tribe, dancing is about entertainment and identity. Others see it a form of cultural resistance in the Diaspora and a struggle against oblivion. But they all agree that it must be passed on to the younger generations.
