Bedouin Ghetto - 1x13’ - English
January 2003

In the Negev Desert in Israel, Arab Bedouins are forced to become sedentary. Obliged to abandon their traditional way of life, they end up living on the fringes of towns, where they become a source of cheap labour.
A women’s association is attempting to revive Bedouin handicrafts and thus create a source of income for 250 women. At the same time, they are organising literacy classes in Arabic and Hebrew.
