The film tells the story of a young Palestinian refugee who introduces his Lebanese university friend to his refugee camp home. It explores the issues behind the inequality faced by Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, even those who have been born in the country, shedding light on their aspirations and the challenges they face.

“Someone like me” was funded by the EU with the intention of improving the mutual perceptions of Lebanese citizens and the Palestinian refugee community.
