Synopsis

Madrase is a comedy-drama television series set at a bilingual Jewish-Arab high school in Jerusalem. This unique setting serves as the background for many challenges, dilemmas and conflicts that the students, teachers and parents deal with throughout the episodes.
These are critical times, tensions between Jews and Arabs in Israel and Palestine are at yet another peak, and our wounds from the latest violent clashes have not yet healed. Especially at this moment in time, we feel it is our mission to use the tools that we have acquired in order to display an alternative picture and suggest a new way of coping.
