Tomer Heymann followed Israeli pop/world-beat band The Idan Raichel Project on their 2006 concert tour to Ethiopia and emerged with a documentary that rollicks and rocks. The film, part lighthearted road trip, part examination of multiculturalism in Israel, is a close-up ride with the young Israeli-Ethiopian-Yemenite band members, who muse on the loss of their heritage and on their excitement as tourists embracing roots in Africa. Black Over White deftly explores their cultural ambivalence and their experience of racism back home in Israel. One of the musicians is reunited with his grandmother in Addis, music is made with rural villagers and in urban clubs, and in one poignant sequence, future immigrants to Israel meet the musicians. The culminating concert—a fusion of Middle Eastern multiethnic grooves—is a success and emotional high point, but for the band members, the meaning of home remains elusive.

  • @NiliNeg

    And what i meant is that you are educated for a nigger. But still an average 2 month jewish baby has more knowledge than a educated cushi who pretends to be jewish.

  • @NiliNeg

    in fact, non-jewish cushi adults lack jewish kids education

  • @bananito4 נו מה שאמרתי אין לך השכלה , לא בוגר לא חכם נקודה . ביי

  • @NiliNeg

    yeah i knew your motivation was because you are a black convert.

    But anyway, at least you have education.

  • @bananito4 כן , אני יהודייה ממוצא אתיופי , שומרת מסורת של אבות אבותיי , שיהיה לך שבוע מבורך

  • @NiliNeg
