A Day in the Life: Za'atari - Episode 1: Welcome to Za'atari

"Who would travel for two weeks through the desert to live in a refugee camp if there was any other choice?"
A steady stream of refugees pours over the border and into the camp and we meet Andrew and Kilian, two of the biggest personalities on this harsh stretch of sand. It may be one camp, but there are at least two visions of how Za'atari should work.

Welcome to Za'atari, the temporary home for tens of thousands of Syrian refugees. Just over a year ago it was a stretch of barren desert. Now it's a bustling metropolis with bakeries, hardware stores and rotisserie chicken stands. It's also a place of colliding visions: the camp imagined by the UNHCR planners and their Jordanian partners, and the camp shaped by the Syrians who must call it their temporary home.
This documentary series opens an unprecedented window into the camp, revealing the everyday dramas of delivering water, keeping the lights on and moving 200 families a day from tents into pre-fabs. In 15 fly-on-the-wall episodes, we follow frontline aid workers as they strive to support and sustain the residents of this remarkable makeshift city.
