October 2000. Mohamad al Durra dies in the arms of his father in Palestine and the image is broadcast around the world. The death of this Palestinian child is seen by millions of people in the Arab world, and has a special impact on Arab children, who express their anger in very extraordinary ways. As Eliane Raheb follows these children, she embarks on her own journey, as she rediscovers her own childhood and questions all that she had previously believed about her own position and beliefs.
