The film follows 15 boys – all aged 15 – who were awarded a trip to the US for being among the top students of the UNRWA human rights programme. Most had never been outside Gaza before. They have lived through war and the consequences of the siege. This incredibly touching film captures their awe as these boys experience for the first time hotels, airplanes, highways, skyscrapers and snow. More importantly, it captures the reactions of the people– students, politicians, diplomats, tourists – who meet these young ambassadors as they share their personal stories and aspirations for their future.
