Augest - A Moment Before the Eruption

Synopsis

Civil unrest in the state of Israel. Filmmaker Avi MOGRABI confess to the camera that he is going to make a film about the month of August in Israel. He hates this month. It represent everything he dislikes about his homeland - sweltering temperatures, heated arguments, outbreaks of violence that rocket to fever pitch. The director takes to the streets armed with his camera, where he is confronted by a jeering crowed who almost attack him, petty officials who question him suspiciously about his activities and, on the Lebanese border, Arab children who pelt him with stones.
