One of the largest detention camps established after the 1987 Intifada was Ansar 3, located in the Negev desert. Diogenes: Ansar 3 was filmed after the camp was closed. A team of Dutch and Israeli filmmakers revisit the period, talking with former guards who reveal their confusion over how Israeli Jews had traversed in one generation from inmates in concentration camps in Poland to a complete role reversal in the Negev desert. Former Palestinian inmates report on detention under horrible conditions, without due process of law.
The film will be followed by a discussion on Ansar Prison's 2002 reopening to house detainees of the current intifada.
