Two years ago, students from the San Francisco State University branch of the General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) set out to have a mural depicting Palestinian culture in the Diaspora displayed on their Student Union. There was controversy around this mural from the idea's conception and even after its approval by the student governing board in July 2005. SFSU President Robert Corrigan placed an immediate moratorium on all new murals at the student center, effectively vetoing the students' decision.

This film is about the Palestinian students' journey in getting such a mural approved and displayed on the SFSU student union — the only mural of its kind on any U.S. university campus, and more significantly, the first on any U.S. public institution.
