Arab Labor
Three episodes presented by series creator Sayed KashuaSeries creator Sayed Kashua presents three episodes of his hilarious sitcom about an Arab-Israeli journalist, one of the most controversial shows on Israeli TV (2007-2013).
Hop Film EventsArab Labor , whose title in colloquial Hebrew carries the racist/discriminatory implication of "shoddy or second-rate work," focuses on the family and work situations of Amjad, an Arab-Israeli journalist. Amjad's often hilarious attempts to assimilate his family into mainstream Israeli society are an opportunity to satirize the prejudice and stereotypes that exist on both sides of the border.
The three episodes screening tonight are curated by series creator Sayed Kashua (himself an Arab Israeli), who has been likened to a Palestinian Dave Chappelle for his outrageous parodies of racial stereotypes. Whether it leaves you in stitches or up in arms, this irreverent Arab-Israeli sitcom will bring you the Middle East conflict as you've never seen it before . . . and that's a good thing.
