Based on the life of and performed by Ahmed Tobasi from Jenin Refugee Camp in Palestine, this gripping coming-of-age story unfolds across the First and Second Intifadas, tracing his epic journey from the battle-scarred alleys of the camp to the harsh confines of Israeli prison, from taking up armed resistance against invasion to cultural resistance in the face of erasure.

Combining fact and fantasy, tragedy and comedy, award-winning writer Hassan Abdulrazzak captures an extraordinary odyssey of defiance, survival, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.

As the Israeli army once again invades Jenin Refugee Camp, “And Here I Am” emerges as both a powerful Palestinian story of the past and an urgent testament to the present.

An intense and moving performance, a vivid account of survival and identity.
