Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, Ajami unfolds as a piercing, raw and powerful crime drama set against the volatile backdrop of Israel's Ajami neighbourhood, a cultural melting pot riddled with conflict between Jews, Muslims and Christians. Spread across five harrowing chapters, the film weaves together the experiences of a cross-section of the city's inhabitants, exploring the tragic consequences of enemies living as neighbours as it races toward its heart-stopping conclusion.
