Nothing creates tension like a Hava Nagilah ringtone!

Strangers depicts the unlikely duo of a young Arabic and a Jewish man who must put aside their fears and predisposed hatred toward one another when confronted with an even greater threat, a gang of skinheads.

This short film by Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv really sheds some perspective on tensions between Arabs and Israelis, considering how both still face an incredible amount of prejudice and violence in Europe and elsewhere throughout the world.
