The Accused (2018)

A Jewish child from a rich neighborhood in Haifa leaves his home and disappears. Three days later, his body is found naked with violent marks and signs of cruel rape. The headlines in the newspapers are quick to point the blame on Arab terrorists. Indeed, a month later, the police arrest five Israeli Arabs who work in deliveries for the supermarket at the boy's neighborhood. The five of them are charged with murder although they presented a firm alibi, claiming their testaments were forced out of them by using violence and torture and that they are innocent and that they had never met the child at all. On February 2017, after thirty-four years in prison, three of them, Ali, Fathi and Samir, were released from prison and they returned to their families. All these years, they had to remain silent out of fear from the authorities in Israel. Now, their story is heard for the first time in the film - Al Muthamin (The Accused).
