A year ago, MSF started working in Dagahaley camp in the Kenyan border town of Dadaab. Dagahaley is one of three refugee camps that were set up in the 1990s to cater for up to 90,000 refugees. Today, more than 100,000 live in Dagahaley alone.
MSF filmed the stories, poems and songs of refugees living in Dagahaley. The stories gathered are testimony to the harsh realities of life in the refugee camps. They also reveal the stories behind the refugees journeys, their former lives in Somalia, their hopes and fears for the future.
