Irit GAL 2012 Israel Documentary color 48min Arabic DigiBeta
Night after night, a group of Palestinian women make the long and treacherous journey from their village, crawling on the ground through a hole in the fence, and then into Jerusalem. Here they pretend to be Israeli, blend into their surroundings, and go to work in order to support their children. On these nightly journeys they share their pain, hopes and dreams blended with the cultural, racial, gender and class conflicts.
