Badu. Stories from the Neguev

Observational documentary about the nomadic Bedouin tribe of Azhazme, who inhabit the Negev Desert in Israel. Swalim Suleyman Abubilya's family, their way of life, their traditions, and their poetry barely survive the increasing settlement and the loss of their land due to pressure from the Israeli government.
