Babylon, is a 2012 Tunisian movie, directed by Ismael Chebbi and Youssef Chebbi. with a runtime of 121 minutes.
Babylon is a visually stunning documentary that chronicles a massive refugee camp hastily erected near the Ras Jdir border crossing in Tunisia following the outbreak of Libya's 2012 insurrection, which drove more than a million people across the border in search of safety. Three filmmakers arrived with cameras and no fixed agenda, capturing the camp's installation, daily life, and eventual dismantling in real time. What they found was a postmodern Babel: a multinational population of displaced people, a complex ecosystem of humanitarian aid workers, and international media machinery projecting its own curated image of the crisis to the outside world. Refreshingly undogmatic and free of easy conclusions, Babylon offers a rare, ground-level window into an overlooked chapter of the Arab Spring.
