From Tel Aviv to Ramallah: A Beatbox Journey

Lane brings more than 20 characters to life through the art of beatbox in this dynamic hip-hop documentary of two young men leading surprisingly similar lives: Amir, an Israeli motorcycle messenger and club DJ, and Khalid, a Palestinian entrepreneur with a thriving Internet café. Splicing the hectic sounds of traffic with calls to prayer, Amir’s and Khalid’s struggles in their divided homeland are conjured against a kinetic videoscape–designed by Sharif Ezzat–as their lives inevitably intersect at a West Bank checkpoint.
