In the Line of Fire

2023 was a record year in criminal violence in Arab society in Israel. The film presents victims’ testimonies and calls upon the Israeli government to put an end to their neglect.
This documentary presents the unbearable situation of citizens forced to live in an atmosphere of crime and violence due to discrimination and sheer lethargy by the authorities entrusted with their protection. It sheds light on the story of runaway criminal violence in Arab society through human testimonies, focusing on 2023, a year that saw an unprecedent number of victims. The film presents the authentic narratives of normative members of society affected by the violence, some of them relatives of the intended victims, others innocent passersby. The unsettling testimonies aim to shake all those responsible out of their apathy so that they act to change the situation.
