Jericho's Echo: Punk Rock in the Holy Land (2004)
Excellent, realistic take on punk scene in Israel
This was a powerful film, full of insights we are not often given the opportunity to see & hear. These thoughtful, sad, ironic comments come straight from the punk musicians and their fan base in Israel. Filmmaker Liz Nord has an uncanny way of getting straight to the heart of the challenges these kids face when they turn 18 and are required by law to enter the army. Watching the kids try to follow their hearts & their consciences is a remarkable journey & Nord does a spectacular job of staying true to her mission of showing us their plight. Often heartbreaking as the musicians talk about their goals in life, their losses & their deep feelings about their country, this film is a must-see for anyone who has ever struggled with life-altering decisions.
