Israel 2017, 109 min, Hebrew and Moroccan, Hebrew subtitles
The story of Israel’s “development towns” in a chilling documentary, as never told before: Testimonials and previously sealed transcripts reveal a method, an ideology and a cruel practice of law enforcement and decision makers behind the “population dispersal” policies in the first two decades of independence.
The director’s family, like others, was taken to Yeruham, a development town in the Negev desert. Their personal stories recount of the price immigrant-families pay and the price still paid by Israeli society, unwilling to deal head-on with those early years and forgotten towns.
A film by: Doron Galezer, David Deri, Ruth Yuval
The screening will be followed by a talk with the film's director, David Deri.
