THEY WERE NOMADS - ERANO NOMADI

A part of the Bedouin minority lives between Jerusalem and Jericho in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, suffering particularly from the loss of their identity, forced to remain locked down in that territory and to become sedentary. And for this reason, poverty, degradation and domestic violence were born. The film reports their strength and will to resist and change for better.
