The photojournalist and teacher of Degree in Audiovisual Media Eva Parey has presented her second documentary at the Malaga Film Festival, entitled "Aamelat. Newspapers of the war". "Aamelat" means day laborers in Arabic. The documentary exposes the labor exploitation conditions in the field of a group of women and girls of Syrian origin who survive in one of the informal settlements in the region.

An entire country, Lebanon, feeds off the work of Syrian refugee women and girls, but not even in Beirut is their situation known. "These women belong to the lowest rung of a hierarchical pyramid in the informal market," explains Parey, who teaches two photography subjects in the Audiovisual Media Degree at TecnoCampus. 

His documentary project began with previous journalistic research work that he did thanks to a DevReporter Grant, in collaboration with the NGO Alkaria. "After publishing several reports and producing a photo exhibition, I felt that it was the Aamelats who had to tell their own story," comments the director. "Aamelat Jornaleres de la guerra" is an intimate portrait of the consequences of the war in Syria, the result of the author's several stays with a family of refugees in an informal settlement in Lebanon.
