Dori Media Begins Filming Political Action Series Amia

Dori Media Group and Yair Dori Holdings have started filming the new political action series Amia in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Inspired by the terror attacks in 1992 and 1994 in Buenos Aires against the Israeli embassy and the Jewish community, the show follows a Mossad agent whose sister is killed in the attack. He partners with a local Argentinean journalist to find those responsible.

The main language of the series is Spanish, combined with English, Hebrew and Persian. It is being directed by Guillermo Rocamora (Solo, Buen Viaje) and written by Izhar Harley (The Gordin Cell).

The cast of Amia includes Michael Aloni (Schtisel), Malena Sánchez (El Encargado, Tuya, De Martes a Martes), Alfonso Tort, César Bordón and Jameel Khoury and many more.

Amia is based on an original idea from Nadav Palti and Yair Dori and created by Givon Snir and Shuky Gur. It will debut around February or March 2024 on Reshet 13.

Palti, CEO and president of Dori Media Group, said: “The attack on the Israeli embassy in Argentina is a defining moment in many lives and greatly impacted a nation both politically and socially. It is imperative that this story be told, and Dori Media is proud to create and share the high-quality Hollywood production. Returning to where Amia happened has brought the story to life with companies, creators and actors from around the world, including Israel, Argentina and Uruguay. We are extremely excited to produce and distribute this to an international audience once it has aired in spring 2024. I would like to formally thank Yair Dori for engaging so positively with Dori Media.

Snir, head of content at Dori Media International, added: “While researching the Amia story, I realized that no matter how deep you dig, you can’t figure out who are the good guys and who are the bad ones. You can’t figure out who is telling the truth and who is lying. And this is what I think the audience will feel when watching this action-packed and full-of-twists series.”
