Ajami

Israeli writing and directing duo Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani made their feature debut with this riveting tale set in the Ajami neighborhood of Jaffa where live is already tough without the political conflict in the region. The lives of several Israelis and Palestinian are interconnected through a chain of events that's marked with violence and tragedy. A young Palestinian whose family can't pay the protection money needed for their survival sets out in an desperate attempt to make money with devastating consequences. Copti and Shani show a different side of contemporary Israel where the political conflict affect peoples daily lives regardless of their religion. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
