Refugees

Directed by: Shai Carmeli-Polak
67 Minutes, 2008

Crossing the desert on foot, desperate African refugees attempt to reach safety in Israel. But Israel is not just any country – and its own past as a haven for refugees from war torn Europe is no simple matter.  The film follows various refugees as they struggle to find a place in a country that accepts them, but takes no responsibility for their acclimatization.
