1966. The premiere of Ram Loevy’s first film, I am Ahmad, sparks a public outcry. Viewers rise, denouncing it as “a knife in the back of the State of Israel.” The short, humanistic film—about a young Arab boy who comes to Tel Aviv seeking work and faces discrimination—is the first in Israeli cinema to center on an Arab character.
