- Majd Khalifeh is 28 years old, has lived in Belgium for 7 years, speaks fluent Dutch and cracks Belgian jokes like no other. Yet Majd is not Belgian. He is not Turkish, Moroccan, Iraqi or Afghan either. Majd is stateless since his birth. Officially he has no nationality and no fatherland. In reality he does. He calls himself Palestinian. In 1948, during the Arab-Israeli war, his family was expelled from the area around Haifa, a city now part of Israel. Until today, they are barred from returning. Obtaining a visa is impossible, let alone a residence permit. And yet, after numerous times of moving from country to country and endless paperwork, he did it. Thanks to his Belgian residence permit and the support of an NGO he was granted a tourist visa for Israel. As a tourist Majd can visit his own country for the first time in his life. Xander and Pieter Stockmans, two good friends and colleagues, follow in his footsteps during this unforgettable journey. Along the way Majd encounters the political and religious complexity of the country. Each time he tries to understand both sides of the story. Majd is also looking for the house where his family used to live and for the cinema that was run by his grandfather. It is a quest for his roots and a homeland.
- Steven and Abdel, two young Belgians, leave for Syria. One as a journalist, the other as a fighter. Yet they have more in common than you might think.
- What if each person on Earth found their soul mate in a different culture? Would that turn our world into a peaceful place? Two close friends test the theory. Majd starts a journey with his European friend Senne to search for an Arabic woman. They travel to five different Arab countries. Can love save the world?
- In 2014 we celebrated 50 years of Moroccan presence in Belgium. This also means 50 years of traveling between Morocco and Belgium. How does this journey influence the development of identities, Moroccan traditions and the way Moroccans perceive inheritance in Belgium? We have put this annual 'return' in the spotlight. We followed a Moroccan family to Morocco, during summer holiday. Little by little, by visual impressions, oral testimonies, anecdotes and memories, we looked for the essence of Moroccan migration throughout different generations.
