Fifteen years ago, Neima Tefilin, an Iranian born Jew, came across a news story on twelve refugees from Iran – her homeland, detained in an Israeli jail, while innocent of any crime. Appealing to the High Court of Justice on their behalf, she succeeded to release them from jail, and dispersed them around the world. These Iranian refugees, members of an underground organization “Mujahedin Halek,” are at the heart of this documentary and their journey to freedom, spending the rest of their lives detached from their families, homeland and culture.
