Palestine in the south

Ana Maria Hurtado 2011 docu 90 min.

Following the fall of Saddam Hussein, thousands of Palestinian refugees
living in Iraq were displaced again into a no man's land on the Syrian
border. After years in this new found limbo, some ultimately journeyed with
their families to Chile, where they were offered residence. Ana Maria
Hurtado's Palestine in the South follows one such group as they reach Chile
and are welcomed to a small town with a Palestinian population descended
from migrants arriving a century earlier. For all the hospitality of the
town, opportunities are scant and disillusionment sets in amongst some new
arrivals.
