Persecuted for the past century, Palestinian Bedouins are seen as second class refugees while Palestinians rank first. Events in the Near East, Palestine and Israel make the news every day but far little is reported about the ancient population of the Palestinian nomads who, like others, have suffered under Israeli occupation. Peaceful, nomadic shepherds, Palestinian Bedouins are facing a serious threat to their existence. Caught between Israeli forces and the westernization of Palestinian society, they are treated with indifference and racist attitudes that separate nomads from settlers.

Director's Notes
«Between August and September 2006 I spent 45 days in the Palestinian territories as a volunteer for an international cooperation project. One day, on the road to Ramallah, I noticed a Bedouin camp in the middle of the desert. A photographer friend and I decided to try to interview people for a report. We soon understood the serious situation these people are facing, unsupported by other Palestinians. These peaceful, hospitable people represent a good part of the heritage of the land».
