‘Bra-et Al Rouh’ (aka ‘Innocence of the Spirit’) tells the story of a young six-year-old Palestinian girl, who sees a homeless man on the streets of Edinburgh, in Scotland.  
 
The young girl (Katherine Abuaglain), draws a parallel between the homeless man (Robert A. Welsh), who is deep in despair, with the plight of her own people who are refugees in the Middle East.

 

‘Bra-et Al Rouh’ not only raises awareness of refugee situations in the Middle East but also demonstrates that simple acts of non-discriminative kindness can make peoples’ lives seems all the brighter and with new hope.
