Between Fences

In the Israeli desert, near the Egyptian border, a detention center for asylum-seekers from Eritrea and Sudan becomes a stage for theatre and self-expression.

In the harsh Israeli desert, near the Egyptian border, lies the Holot detention center, home to asylum-seekers from Eritrea and Sudan who face deportation back to their war-torn homelands. Against this backdrop of uncertainty, two filmmakers, Chen Alon and Avi Mograbi, bring hope and creativity to the camp by establishing a theatre workshop, fostering a sense of community and empowerment among the detainees.
