On a virgin territory in the wilderness, people arrive. Soon, a city is built out of nowhere. Being inhabited by several nationalities, its people speak different languages. This new Babylon, surrounded by trees and animals, is rapidly taking the form of a city at once ordinary and extraordinary.
After the insurrection erupted in Libya in the spring of 2012, more than a million people flocked to neighboring Tunisia in search of a safe haven from the escalating violence. When a massive refugee camp was hastily constructed near the Ras Jdir border checkpoint in Tunisia, a trio of filmmakers carried their cameras in and began filming with no agenda. This on-the-fly chronicle of the camp's installation, operation, and dismantling captures a postmodern Babel complete with a multinational population of displaced folk, a regime of humanitarian aid workers, and international media that broadcasts its "image" to the world. Visually stunning and refreshingly undramatic, Babylon reveals a rarely seen aspect of the Arab Spring.
