The Shepherd’s Keeper

Overview

Bedouin shepherd communities who live in the magical spaces of the Jordan Valley, have to survive in very difficult conditions and deal with a variety of pressures and threats. The communities are accompanied by Israeli human rights activists. The film follows the complexity of the 'human layer' that disturbs the peacefulness of the desert and awakens ancient struggles. All this, against the backdrop of, and perhaps in contrast to, the wonderful scenery of the desert.
