AWAKE ZION
Directed by Monica Haim/Documentary/USA/2012/60 min
Awake Zion is a documentary that explores the unsuspecting connections between Rasta, Reggae, and Judaism, through one woman’s beat-laden adventure into the meaning of identity. Unraveling the story of this unlikely kinship, Awake Zion unites Jewish and Jamaican musicians, scholars, and historians in a celebration roots and culture – traveling from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where Caribbean and Jewish cultures share a history of adversity – to Jamaica, the birthplace of reggae – and ultimately to Israel, where a sizzling reggae scene thrives today.
