From the Creators of the electrifying documentary, THE ANCESTRAL SIN (NYSJFF 2018), comes a controversial new film (as part of the documentary series) about immigrant children from North Africa who are placed in vocational schools in periphery towns in Israel. While the systematic policy was meant to keep newcomers from Asia and Africa at the bottom of the social strata, the second generation created a grassroots movement for social and economic justice, ultimately rejecting exclusion and neglect.
Followed by Q&A with Director David Deri.
