Ajami

Ajami

A film by Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani

A powerful crime drama set on the streets of Jaffa’s Ajami neighborhood – a melting pot of cultures and conflicting views among Jews, Muslims and Christians – and told through the eyes of a cross-section of the city’s inhabitants: a young Israeli, a Palestinian refugee, a Jewish police detective. As their stories intersect we witness a dramatic collision of different worlds and the tragic consequences of enemies living as neighbors.
