    Desc: Never Back Home: Directed by Sami Mustafa. In 2000, a year after losing their homes in the Kosovo conflict, 161 Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian families from four Kosovo towns were moved to a temporary community shelter, the so-called Plemetina/Plemetin IDP Camp, 14 km north-west of Kosovos capital city. The camp residents organized, like a mini municipality. The years passed. The day comes the year was 2004 and the first Kosovo Prime Minister, Mr. Bajram Rexhepi, and the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary General, Mr. Søren Jessen-Petersen, visited the camp. They promised to close it. Two years later, some families have returned to their hometowns, and some still remain in camp barracks, but most families that did not own land are placed in two apartment buildings (now called Social Housing Buildings) at the same place where the camp used to be.Three days after they moved in, they are grieving.
