Coolidge Corner Theatre Arab Labor (Episodes 7,8,9) Don’t miss this groundbreaking and wildly funny prime-time Israeli TV show, created by Dani Faran and Arab Israeli Sayed Kashua, and the first ever to feature an Arab Israeli family. Amjad is a reporter for a Hebrew-language newspaper whose hilarious attempts to assimilate into mainstream Israeli society expose prejudices and stereotypes on both sides of the country’s Jewish-Arab divide. Stars Salim Daw (Avanti Popolo, James’ Journey to Jerusalem) and Clara Khoury (Syrian Bride), among others. See all the episodes – in or out of order.
