Ain el-Hilweh is the largest camp for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Declining living conditions, political instablity and unemployment in and outside the camp have deepened the mutual mistrust between the Palestinian occupants and the wider Lebanese population.Shooting hope is the story of an extraordinary project bringing together Palestinian and Lebanese teenagers who live their lives on different sides of the divide by teaching them the skills of digital photography.
