Synopsis:
200 Cages provides an intimate look into the lives of female farm workers in Ghor Al Safi, southern Jordan. The film follows two groups of women, led by Basma, a seasoned shaweesha (group leader), and Ibtisam, a single mother who works on a nearby farm. From dawn until early afternoon, these women labor in various weather conditions for just six Jordanian dinars daily. They face physical exhaustion, lack of access to restrooms, and pressure from their Bosses. As they work, they share their experiences of failed marriages, struggles with men, and the constant pressure to support their families within a system that repeatedly lets them down.
