The Three Yossi
This sociological journey back in time began over twenty years ago when several families were evicted from their homes. They got together and squatted in an abandoned building in Jaffa for two years. The children of all ages who lived there grew up around violence and poverty —but also solidarity. They saw the power of people fighting the establishment for their right to a home.
They first became the subjects of a documentary film back in 1999 (the film was screened at the very first Docaviv Festival). Now, their journey continues: what has become of them? What chances does a poverty-stricken child have to make it in the world?
