The Neighborhood Storyteller is the inspiring story of Asmaa, a determined young Syrian mother of four living as a refugee in Zaatari camp, Jordan, who for the last seven years has been using the art of reading aloud for pleasure to children as a bridge to tackle issues within her community. Trained by a Jordanian nonprofit, We Love Reading, Asmaa embarks on her own reading aloud project that contributes to building a generation of strong and empowered women.
