For ten years, a hundred Palestinian children, nicknamed "Ambassadors of Freedom", have been thumbing their noses at the Israeli authorities.

In-vitro fertilization, serving the Palestinian cause, has enabled more than a hundred women to have children with their husbands who are imprisoned in Israel. The Israelis, for their part, often refuse to believe in these paternities that come from a smuggling operation. Both sides are opposed to DNA testing, which is forbidden in Israeli prisons and rejected by the Palestinians claiming that their wives' fidelity can't be doubted. Our team met some of these children and their mothers in Palestine. They told them about the tricks they used to get their husbands' semen out of the country, and the incredible way it was transported to a clinic where a doctor performed the IVF. But also, the problems that had to be solved in a patriarchal society, which does not tolerate single and pregnant women.  
In any case, they are proud of their children, the embodiment of a resistance that does not involve bombs, guns or stones, but life. Proud of a fight that allows, for once, Eros to defeat Thanatos.
