It is a very accomplished piece of film-making nonetheless. Friend of Ours News, Independence, Missouri. Skip ahead in the list by clicking on an index letter below.

This is a collection of Mafia-related and crime-related slang terms. Members of Mafia crews also are referred to as soldiers, friends of ours, good fellow and buttons, as well as associates of the Colombo Family. Much of the gangland vocabulary has entered our mainstream language. That casual assertion of mere equivalence strikes a jarring note. /r/Mafia features stories, interviews, documentary and news articles about organized crime around the world. The American Mafias stockpile of slang has been building for more than a century and overlaps the collected colloquialisms of American street gangs. On a trip to Israel, Fleifel sees some Holocaust memorials and simply superimposes video footage of Israeli soldiers assaulting Palestinians. With his use of music and voiceover, cinephile Fleifel is clearly influenced by Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese and his style is humorous and compassionate, but my enjoyment of this film was qualified by some pointed political glibness. The result is a very watchable study of a stateless community, subsisting on dreams and memories of a lost homeland, and a generation of young men who have no prospects, sometimes drawn to jihadism out of sheer personal frustration yet they are often quite as critical of the Palestinian leadership as everything else. His spirit is now trapped inside a ouija board, as Ruther and her friends kill themselves and torment him as Khonjin screams. Mahdi Fleifel was born there, and moved away with his family to live in Dubai and Europe – but often returned with his video camera to visit friends and relations and build up this richly personal archive of impressions and interviews.

A World Not Ours borrows its title from a novel by the author and activist Ghassan Kanafani: it is a filmed portrait of the Palestinian refugee camp in South Lebanon known as Ein El-Helweh, or 'sweet spring'.
