Here, we are in a camp of Bedouins who live in extremely difficult conditions, facing daily harassment from settlers and Israeli army. But they resist and stay there, close to the land that has been taken from them, close to the water that has been confiscated from them, close to their animals that they are prevented from taking care of, close to their children who are living this violence.
Through this very modest soundscape, I just wanted to make us hear, in the harshness of the elements, the echo of the vital energy that does not waver. Each morning.
