Somewhere between the 1947 traditional Bedouin desert-life of southern Israel and the 2007 modern city life of Beer-Sheba, just 4 Kilometers off the highway, lives a small Bedouin community. 15 year old Hulud has a dream; she is cracking the barrier set on that highway. With her young brother and sister she goes on a journey that will enable her to let go of the life she once wished for.

Miri Shapiro (1980) is motivated in her work by personal stories in the shadow of events; individual versus her/his society, religion or political reality. For her film “4 Kilometers” she was awarded a grant by National-Geographic. In her previous film “Kallah (Bride)” she captures the struggle of a young orthodox Jewish woman going through the religious rituals of becoming a “Kosher Jewish Bride”. The film won two awards and was screened in over twenty festivals across the world. Graduating LFS MA Program Miri is currently in first stages of development of a feature-scrip.
