Avi Mograbi acude al encuentro de solicitantes de asilo africanos, en un campo en el medio del desierto del Néguev, en el que han sido confinados por el estado de Israel. Juntos, utilizando técnicas del Teatro del Oprimido, ponen en cuestión la condición de los refugiados en Israel. ¿Son sus trágicas historias diferentes a la de la abuela de Mograbi, que huyó de los nazis? ¿Qué lleva a hombres y mujeres a abandonar todo y avanzar hacia lo desconocido? ¿Por qué Israel, tierra de refugiados, se niega a tener en cuenta la situación de los exiliados, a quienes la guerra, la miseria y el maltrato lanzan a la carretera? ¿Puede el teatro participar del cambio social y tender puentes entre las personas?

Shot in the Occupied Territories by Israeli director Avi Mograbi, this controversial documentary film draws parallels between the Israeli - Palestinian situation today and the enduring myths of Samson and Masada. Mograbi offers a powerful, at times chilling, lament of the continuing cycles of violence rooted in the past and threatening to engulf everyone's future. With the roots of so much real-world conflict left unexamined by today's restless media, this film reminds us just how vital filmmakers like Avi Mograbi are. Documentary today is rarely immersed in questions of this magnitude - or tackles them with the level of eloquence shown here by Mograbi. An exceptional and challenging film.

A documentary filmmaker goes out to document August, since he believes that this month constitutes a metaphor of whatever is hateful in the State of Israel. Yet while doing so he himself becomes August. "August" is a partly documentary and partly fictional film that portrays a month in the life of a filmmaker and his wife. He wishes to document the month of August, since he believes that this month constitutes a metaphor of whatever is hateful in the State of Israel. She, on the contrary, is rather fond of August, which represents to her all that is optimistic.

This film is a bit of a "documentary within a documentary" as Mr. Mograbi is hired by a producer to do a film on Israel's 50th anniversary celebration. After one check is cut and filming begins, high unemployment figures come out in the press. The producer feels he should take some money and build a factory to provide employment - but all he and Mograbi know is films, so he cuts a second check for Mograbi to do a film on injustices which might highlight the need for reforms.

On December 8, 1983 a fifteen year old Jewish boy from the city of Haifa was kidnapped, murdered and sexually abused after his death. Five Arabs who worked in in the neighborhood’s supermarket were convicted and imprisoned for life and 27 years. The conviction was based only on the defendants’ confessions and reconstructions. Seventeen years after their conviction, the five defendants still claim they are innocent. "The Reconstruction" follows the police investigation and juridical process step by step. The heart of the film is the original videotaped reconstructions of the murder performed by the defendants in which they admit their guilt.

A short film consisting of one scene in which three people (clearly Palestinians) are deported from their country. What happens in the film doesn’t quite look like a deportation. All its brutal externals have been peeled away, to leave the act itself exposed to a moral discussion.
