Since the first beginning of Hip-Hop culture spread in Palestine, Muhammad Mughrabi from Shoufat Refugee Camp in Palestine's occupied capital Jerusalem, was fond of this culture that is being terribly spreading in all over the world. He waited for years to see someone who is expressing what he is feeling about a Refugee, Here in 2002 he decided to launch his Hip-Hop band which was named G-Town (G from Ghetto). the G-Town includes also Fadi Ammous. The two Refugees together spoke out the first Hip-Hop word in Jerusalem and played its first beat. Their first album "Darrdakeh" was released in 2007 to reflect what is the feeling of being a refugee, To reflect what they feel toward themselves, their homeland "Palestine", their enemy, the world, and the Middle East. "Sharq Awsat Jadeed" or New Middle East was one of their most famous songs that was widely known all over the world. G- Town band can be taken as a great example of the success of the Hip hop culture in Palestine as its members have participated in many international festivals and tours, never to fail mentioning getting a MTV award, beside producing video shows, and taking parts in documentary films, composing music, and having the privilege of making soundtrack for an academy award (Oscar) nominated film.

“In my class there are 13 students and half of them are very religious settlers and they hate me, or you can say that they don't like me”.
Imagine being a 21-year-old Palestinian refugee. Imagine taking the bus every morning to go to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank to study at an Israeli University where you are the only Arab student in the department.
This is the story of a young man split between two worlds that fear and hate each other. This is Muhammad’s story.
The film is spoken in Arabic and English. The subtitles are in Italian.
