A Borrowed Identity (Arabic: العرب الراقصون; Hebrew: זהות שאולה;) is a 2014 Israeli drama film directed by Eran Riklis. It is based on Sayed Kashua's book Dancing Arabs (2002). In Canada the film was released under the title Dancing Arabs,[2][3] which was the film's English-language title at its world premiere (one reviewer noted that the title "will prove tricky in marketing campaigns").[4] The film was considered a flop in Israel, with only 48,000 views, despite an $11 million budget.

It tells the story of Eyad, an Israeli-Palestinian teenager from Tira who moves to Jerusalem to attend an elite Jewish high school, where he meets Naomi, a Jewish student, and falls in love with her. As part of his school-mandated community service, he meets Yonatan, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, and his mother Edna.[5]
