The "Invisible Men" is a documentary film that portrays the untold story of persecuted Gay Palestinians who have run away from their families and are now hiding in Tel Aviv.
Louie, 32 years old, has been hiding in Tel Aviv for the past 8 years. Abdu, 24, was exposed as Gay in Ramallah and then accused of espionage and tortured by Palestinian security forces. Faris, 23 years old, escaped to Tel Aviv from the West Bank and his family tried to kill him. Their only chance for survival? Seek asylum outside Israel and away from the Palestinian Authority.
Nominated, Art Cinema Award, Hamburg Film Festival.
