All Amjad wants is a decent morning shower but a problem in the water pressure in the apartment above his parents' home drives him crazy. While he visits Meir, Amjad finds the light as he's exposed to the water flow in a Jewish neighborhood. Amjad decides to fight the municipal council in demand for "An equal water pressure for Jews and Arabs" but only gets a demolition order against his illegal constructions. The order serves as an excuse for Amjad to fulfill his dream and he buys an apartment in Meir's building in a Jewish neighborhood.

About Arab Labor

Link TV presents the U.S. broadcast premiere of the controversial hit Israeli comedy series Arab Labor (Avoda Aravit).

Created by Sayed Kashua, a 32-year-old Israeli-born Palestinian journalist, Arab Labor (translated from the Hebrew “Avoda Aravit” which colloquially implies “shoddy or second-rate work”) focuses on Amjad, a Palestinian journalist and Israeli citizen in search of his identity as he seeks high status in the society into which he was born but where his car is searched everyday when he drives from his neighborhood to his job at a newspaper in Jerusalem.

Poking fun at the cultural divide, Kashua and his characters play on religious, cultural and political differences to daringly depict the mixed society that is Israel.  This show marked a milestone on Israeli television as the first program to present Palestinian characters speaking Arabic on primetime. Arab Labor has generated great controversy between Arab and Israeli media and Link TV is premiering the program to the U.S. television audience in order to offer a fresh perspective on Israeli-Palestinian cultural friction while presenting an unbelievably entertaining show that has made an international splash.
