A long, interesting article I did found in Haaretz Magazine (August 14 ) written by Ariel Hirschfeld about the new movie: Ajami, directed by Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani.
The movie, about a neighborhood in Yafo, won the Wolgin Prize for best feature film this year at the Jerusalem Film Festival and a ‘”honorable mention” at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. The movie is in the race to be send to next year’s Oscar celebrations.

A testament to freedom of speech and creative expression of Arabs in Israel (Muslims & Christians)
