Following the sell-out screening of three episodes of Arab Labour at the festival last November, join UKJFF and the JCC for a unique opportunity to watch every episode of Sayed Kashua's hilarious award-winning TV series (recently awarded best TV drama at the Jerusalem Film Festival).

This comic Israeli series has managed to burn more than a few holy cows and also to win great acclaim and a fair share of fans in Israel and internationally.

Amjed, a Palestinian Israeli journalist, is desperate to integrate into Israeli society. In the course of his climb up the ladder of Israeli society, racial, ethnic and national stereotypes are revealed and all sides find themselves under scrutiny. Using whimsical gestures the inequalities and absurdities of Israeli society and its Arab minority are laid bare, using humour to great effect as an emotive and thought provoking tool.
