Men on the Edge – Fisherman’s Diary

For four years, the co-directors filmed Palestinian fishermen living in harmony with Israelis on a half-deserted beach near the border between Gaza and Israel. They are rough straight-forward, uninhibited men, who spend long and cold nights out to sea and then come back to warm themselves by the fire. Despite the ongoing bloody conflict between the two enemy peoples, this eclectic group of men is brought together by the needs of shared living.  An excursion into the masculine soul.
