The Children of Ibdaa: To Create Something Out of Nothing is about a Palestinian children's dance troupe from a West Bank refugee camp. The children use their performance to express the history, struggle, and aspirations of the Palestinian people. The video intertwines the vibrant and sometimes somber stage performance with images and interviews depicting life under occupation in a refugee camp. The video also chronicles a unique visit taken by the children to visit their grandparents' villages in present day Israel.
