An article, full with hope for a better future, I saw last Friday in The New York Times, written by Joan Dupont about the movie Ajami, a neighborhood in Jaffa, that will be screened at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The movie is directed by Scandor Copti (a Jaffa-born Arab) and Yaron Shani, who is living in Ashdod.
