Project type: 2. Projekt
Two men, one job: Taxidriver. Pat and Abu Srur fulfil their work in areas, which don’t show a uniform character. Territories, in which the ride from a to b, doesn’t simply mean a trip to be accomplished but in fact frontier crossing. Their job leads them to traverse fences, walls, visible and unvisible frontiers every day. What does it mean to be a cab driver in spots such as Belfast or the Westbank? Two private stories develop themselves against the background of the respective political situation
