Transit (2013 film)

Transit is a 2013 Filipino independent drama film written and directed by Hannah Espia.

The film follows a story about a single father who is forced to hide his children from immigration police in Israel after the Israeli government decides to deport children of immigrant workers.

Espia said that the inspiration to do the film came after talking to an OFW who was bringing home his child from Israel.

In 2009, the Israeli government enacted a law that deports the children of migrant workers unless they fulfill a certain criterion.

Both Israeli and migrant workers rallied against the law that separates parents from their children.
