2009 - Israel

A night time journey with high walls, rope-climbing, barbed-wire fences, fear of arrest, and even a mortal threat - these are some of the obstacles facing Palestinians who work illegally inside Israel. The film follows a group of Palestinian construction workers trying to reach their workplaces in Har Homa, which is being built in East Jerusalem as a Jewish enclave amid Palestinians lands and neighbourhoods. This film is a part of the "Jerusalem Moments 2009" Project: seven documentary short films by seven young Palestinian and Israeli directors, reflecting the complexity of life in Jerusalem, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
