Mrajeeb Al Fhood was a documentary project, produced pro bono, and one of the most emotionally and technically challenging assignments I have worked on.

The challenge was not only logistical - shooting and finishing immersive footage in a fragile, high-pressure environment - but ethical: how to represent people with dignity while using a format that can easily become spectacle. On my first day, children came to greet us with flowers. I had to step away for a moment because it brought me to tears.

What stayed with me most was this: people in the camp were not asking for money or food in that moment. They were asking not to be forgotten. The work was shaped around that request - to document with care, keep the human reality central, and let the film carry memory rather than pity.
