Khodor Abdullah Abdulrahman

13-year-old Khodor is a child whose family tries to issue him an ID document that proves his existence and gives him the right to education, health-care and movement outside of the Palestinian refugee camp of Shatila in Beirut, Lebanon. Through the process, many of the family's old secrets are revealed.

Stuck in Shatila refugee camp without an identity, Khodor is a loud, unpredictable teenager whose life revolves around pigeons, fleeting relationships, and a system that won't recognize him. As his stepmother fights to secure an ID that would grant him freedom beyond the camp, access to education, and health care, Khodor's wild spirit and charm leave us wondering-can a boy with no papers ever find a way out?
