Sami Shalom Chetrit

A dramatic, neo-realist Moroccan-speaking comedy, centered on the Vaknin family - a Moroccan Jewish family that immigrated to the picturesque town of "Bab El Ward" (an imaginary town symbolizing the whole periphery).

The footage in this film reveals the mostly unknown story of an Israeli political consciousness that tried to align itself with the 1970s civil rights struggle in the US and third world Marxism internationally.
