The documentary "Degrees of Incarceration" illustrates how a community of Palestinian refugees in Aida Camp, the West Bank, copes with the direct and indirect effects of political prison. Through observational footage and interviews, it reveals how community members, old and young, respond with creativity and determination to manage the social and political toll imprisonment takes on them all.
