SAZ + Shooting Muhammed

SAZ
This provocative documentary goes behind the ghetto walls of Ramlah to look at a year in the life of budding Palestinian hip-hop star Sameh Zakout a.k.a. Saz. Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood as a third generation of a moderate family, Saz has had to learn to balance their traditional viewpoints with his strong feelings of insult and rage for the injustices his people have suffered. He does this through music, using it as a starting point for discussion with Israeli and Arab youth who have grown further apart since the recent Intifada.

Shooting Muhammad
"In my class there are 13 students and half of them are very religious settlers and they hate me, or you can say that they don't like me". Imagine being a 21-year-old Palestinian refugee. Imagine taking the bus every morning to go to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank to study at an Israeli University where you are the only Arab student in the department. This is the story of a young man split between two worlds that fear and hate each other. This is Muhammad's story.
