Ma'abarot: The Israeli Transit Camps
Director
In the chaotic aftermath of Israeli independence, the country established Ma’aborot, transit camps built to accommodate the influx of new immigrants. Created as a temporary housing solution, these shantytowns, populated mainly by Jews from Arab countries, soon became an enduring symbol of the plight of Mizrahi Jews in Israel and the basis of ensuing myths and stereotypes. Director Dina Zvi-Riklis (Three Mothers), an Iraqi immigrant and former camp resident, brings a personal perspective to this compelling account of a traumatic period that has been virtually erased from Israeli history and memory.
