The winner for Best Editing at this week's Tel Aviv International Documentary Film Festival offers a rare and chilling look at the lives of Palestinian migrant workers who live in a literal abyss in order earn some cash.

Jalal Hamdan is one undocumented migrant worker featured in "Six Floors to Hell," a new film by Yonatan Ben-Efrat. The subjects are 650 Palestinian laborers living underground, in the foundations of an abandoned mall at the busy Geha Junction in central Israel.
