A group of young men at the edges of Palestinian society struggle to maintain the stability of their once thriving trade. For these thieves and choppers of Israeli cars, a livelihood is threatened -but is that all that’s at stake? Told from an anonymous space – in the shadows between chop-shops and checkpoints – the stories these thieves provide shine new light on an illicit economy that persists today.
