Produced by FilmAid International in late July of 2011, a critical juncture in the Somali famine crisis, A Helping Hand is a short documentary film about Ibrahim and his family of seven who wait outside a reception center for newly arrived refugees in Dadaab refugee camp to be provided basic assistance. Ibrahim and his family, like thousands of others who arrive daily at the camp, are escaping the devastating famine in Somalia, the result of the drought gripping the Horn of Africa.
