ABU JAMIL STREET

In Rafah, on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip, Abu Jamil Street is the last road before the Egyptian border. The street is the starting-point for all the smuggling tunnels. The destinies of four people – Abu Sleeman, owner of a tunnel bombarded in January 2009, Mouneer and Sameer, his laborers, and Hiyad Keshta, their neighbor – meet and intertwine in a neighborhood under high tension. Abu Jamil Street is a journey into the clandestine daily life of Rafah’s tunnels.
