Yaky Yosha is one of the most popular and richest Film Director who was born on April 17, 1951 in Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv District, Israel.

In 1995, upon his return to Israel, Yosha focused on writing and directing for television. He wrote and directed the drama series, Night Fare, as well as two movies made for television Joint and Junky. In 1997, he returned to the big screen with Bloodguilt, a dark tale of a dangerous romantic triangle based on the biblical story of Jacob, Rachel and Leah. The following year, Yosha directed Shabazi, a feature film based on the television series Night Fare. In 1999 he joined police patrol cars, documenting pursuits, arrests, and all the moments in between. Those nights became the Israeli version of Cops.

In 2000 Yosha directed a feature-length documentary, Inherit the Earth, narrated by Liam Neeson, about the preparations for the Pope’s historic visit to Israel. During the making of Inherit the Earth, Yosha met major general Alik Ron, the Israeli northern district police chief, who became the subject of his next documentary The Main Suspect (2002), selected to the International Documentary Film Festival (Amsterdam) in 2003.
