Camps Breakerz Crew represents peace and freedom for Palestine with the strength and grace of their bodies. “Our favorite thing is when we dance, we can feel some freedom and forget about our bad situation,” says CBC’s founder Ahmed Alghraiz, or B-Boy Shark.

The crew’s dream is to share their wish for peace through dance–and, through their video, B-Boy Shark says, “to show the world that we are living in a prison called Gaza Strip, and under siege.” The video’s afterward adds: “We know that the world can’t do anything about it, but we still believe good people exist.”

Sami Haven

Sami Haven was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1987. His mother is originally from Yabroud, Syria, and his father is English born in the Caribbean. He grew up in his grandmother's house in Jabal al-wehbdeh, in the heart of Amman. In 2003 Sami moved to Al-Saru, on the outskirts of Amman, where he studied graphic design at Al Ahliyya University, graduating with the highest grades of his class. In 2005 he moved to Rome, Italy, where he did his masters in Photography. Sami worked with the world's most famous photographers like Steven Klein and Oliviero Toscani, along with many others. His works have been included in the Biennale of Venice directed by Kazuyo Sejima, Paris-Photo, and also in Tokio. After working in various editions of X-FACTOR Italia - making video clips for the contestants - in theatre with Fendi, and in the high fashion industry, Sami felt there was something missing, and so he decided to go to Gaza, Palestine, because it is an example of resistance and humanity, and to try and contrast the image constructed by the Western media that serves only the powerful. Today Sami is co-funder and part of an on growing conceptual group called Jasmine. A group united through passion against fear, a smell that's to spread out from the Mediterranean like a virus, to contaminate the world with Love, and heal from indifference. All can be part, and all shall be armed: Culture, Art, Music and Sport shall be our weapons of mass construction.

    AWESOME photography…….. Beautiful shots, can’t express it enough…… I love these pictures, especially the faces…. (I like to look into people’s eyes in photos and try to “feel” them)………. I think a lot of us do that, because we can fall in love with someone, I think, just by their picture…… Anyway, just want to say LOVED these photos……..
