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.
