High Hopes

High Hopes – A film about the displacement of hundreds of Bedouin refugees

In 1997-’98, many Bedouin refugees living under Israeli Occupation were forcibly displaced by Israel to a garbage dump. During this entire period, the Oslo Peace Process was ongoing, with "high hopes" for peace. During recent peace talks, plans to forcibly displace some 30,000 Bedouin refugees for settlement expansion were formulated, and in the aftermath of those talks, the plan is progressing and extremely urgent as to the initial 2,800 facing imminent forced displacement.
