: Daniel Carsenty, Mohammed AbugethIt’s 2012 when the filmmakers first introduce Hamouda, a mid-30s West Bank resident from a Bedouin family native to the area south of the city of Hebron that’s surrounded by Israeli settlements. Because job opportunities in the impoverished region are chronically inadequate to support his wife and kids, Hamouda operates in the underground economy, smuggling Palestinians who don’t qualify for Israeli work permits across the “Green Line” at the border.
Hamouda knows that any contact with the military would surely mean arrest and confiscation of his vehicle, which is exactly what happens in 2012, sending him and his cousin Ismail, another smuggler, to a jail for several months. Although Ismail exits the trade once they’re both released, Hamouda continues driving across the Negev desert’s rough dirt roads, tempting fate and risking a lengthier prison sentence. “I’m like the soldier who goes to war.
Some remarkable video shot by residents as the soldiers demolish Ali’s neighborhood includes footage of an unidentified officer, apparently convinced of his official impunity, threatening a homeowner with arrest, shouting in his face, “Do you want to go to prison?” The filmmakers, with their press credentials, manage to avoid direct confrontation with security forces, often recording army vehicles from a distance or capturing only audio when the military stops their vehicle for security checks.
