Ajami

Ajami

A powerful crime drama set on the streets of Jaffa in Israel. Ajami neighbourhood is a melting pot of cultures and conflicting views amongst Jews, Muslims and Christians and the story is told through a cross-section of the city’s inhabitants. As their stories intersect we witness a dramatic collision of different worlds and the tragic consequences of enemies living as neighbours.

"A rare film that will force you to confront your own prejudices."
Little White Lies

"This is vividly challenging, utterly inclusive and heartfelt cinema. It’s not only gripping to watch, but it’ll open your eyes to the intractable human conundrums behind the blood-stained headlines."
