Running On Sand - Film screening and Discussion with the director of the movie, Adar Shafran Synopsis :

Aumari, a young Eritrean refugee living in Israel, is about to be deported. While escaping at the airport he is mistaken for a professional Nigerian football striker who is arriving in Israel to save a struggling team. Despite the absence of any soccer talent, Aumari is able to play along and heal the divisions of his team. Starring Congo-born actor Chancela Mongoza and a group of other African migrant actors, this light hearted comedy, reminiscent of Ted Lasso, demonstrates the precarious position of refugees worldwide and the importance of treating people with respect.
