Oslo 2019

A tragic-poetic reflection of the realities of Palestinian laborers after the failure of the Oslo Accords.

Directed by Shady Srour

Ziad, a Palestinian day laborer, is denied entry into Israel for work that day. The East Jerusalem border guards offer no explanation. Not wanting to return home empty handed after promising his daughter meat for dinner, he needs to get creative. The journey back is long, and what he encounters in the dry mountains challenges his dignity.
