Awake Zion

Awake Zion explores the connections between Rasta, Reggae and Judaism, through one woman's beat-laden adventure into the meaning of identity. All the way back to the alleged sultry affair between the Jewish King Solomon and the African Queen of Sheba, Jewish influence is evident in the spiritual history of Ethiopia - turning up subtly in Rastafarian lifestyle and then, inevitably, in reggae. Unravelling 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. Awake Zion examines the preconceptions of what it means to be Jewish, what it means to be Rasta, what it means to be white or black - and, most importantly, the universal search for what it means to be "home".

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I put this on when the mood strikes or we have people in the house and just want some entertainment. Not a lot of songs you don't know, it's just a great live performance of some of his greatest hits. I have busted it out at parties a few times and most people sit there and watch the whole thing. His performance is interesting to watch. He's a great performer but you also notice he keeps his eyes closed most of the time. Also interesting to note how much smoke is hovering around the stage. You can't help but think how much joy this man would have provided with his music had he lived longer.Happy birthday Bob, your music lives!
