Director's / Curator's Statement:
Bashir's Dream centers around Qusai Bashir Masaama, a 14-year-old Syrian refugee in
Jordan who was shot in the back by a sniper while on a candy run. As a result, Qusai is
confined to a wheelchair, with dreams of playing basketball and traveling abroad for
better care and education.
