ISA presents AJAMI. Also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, Ajami centers around five different stories set in an actual impoverished Christian-and-Muslim Arab neighborhood of the Tel Aviv – Jaffa metropolis, called Ajami. The cinematography is brilliant and the action is nothing short of mind blowing. The score on Rotten Tomato is 97% and only movies like The Godfather get those kinds of scores on RT.
