Welcome to the Circus is a story of power, art and unity. Set in the West Bank city of Ramallah, The Palestinian Circus School welcomes the french LIDO circus school. Together they create a mobile circus for the children of Palestine. Occupation affects every aspect of daily life, and travel is an obstacle of permits and checkpoints. The LIDO will travel without trouble, but not the Palestinian students. Will everyone be allowed to go to the final show in Jerusalem, or will they have to cancel?
