Running on Sand
Israel, 2023
Nominee for Best Picture at the Israeli Academy Awards
An Eritrean refugee, Omari, is about to be deported when
he is mistaken for a top-notch Nigerian soccer player. Despite zero
soccer skills, Omari hides his identity in order to stay in Israel.
His presence on the team both exposes and heals the racial divisions
among his teammates. Running on Sand is a charming antidote
for our polarizing times.
