Synopsis
Us, Them, and Me provides a vivid firsthand account of Nicholas Avruj's 2000 journey to Israel. Originally intended as a family vacation to Tel Aviv, Avruj's insatiable curiosity led him to venture further, crossing into Gaza and the West Bank.

Reviews
"A valuable proposal both for the honesty and nobility of the director, who is also protagonist, and for the power of the heartbreaking images of the movie." - Diego Batlle, La Nación
"Avruj looks and does not judge, he observes carefully and decides not to point an accusing finger. He observes and never underlines the horror." - Hugo F. Sánchez, Tiempo Argentino
