The Devil’s Drivers

The area south of Hebron, with its vast and beautiful landscapes, is home to an indigenous population of Bedouins. In their midst, Israeli settlers have built fortified villages on the hilltops, cutting the people from their lands, and their water sources. Exhausted after years of conflict, the Bedouins seek to make a living as construction workers in Israel. But the government regards them as a security threat. Every man who isn‘t married, and doesn‘t have at least one child, is banned from obtaining a working permit. Hamouda, a trafficker, is arrested along the border with his human cargo. At the time, his wife is six months pregnant. In prison, the guards refuse him the right to call her upon entering labor. Once he‘s released, he has only one goal: to make sure his newborn son, and the baby‘s mama, will never suffer material needs again. A gripping portrait, similar to a 1970s chase movie, filmed over five years about men living on the edge in one of the most fragile regions of the world.
