For three months in 2015, a group of Syrian girls living in the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan participated in a media workshop designed to empower them to tell their own stories and those of the surrounding community. Given cameras and encouragement, these young women set out and created the seven short films depicting their experience and reality. The resulting work is named Waves of Childhood by one of the girls of the group.
