ROCK IN THE RED ZONE - 10th Anniversary

A 27th Annual Boston Jewish Film Festival Favorite!

On the edge of the Negev Desert lies Sderot, a city of factory workers and rock musicians – the children of refugees from North Africa and the Middle East who grew up in a transit camp. Despite being pummeled for years by homemade missiles known as Qassams, the people of Sderot persevere. In raucous Moroccan celebrations, they embrace newcomers. In quiet family dinners, they voice their dreams. And in underground bomb shelters, they create music – a unique Sderot sound that has transformed Israeli music by injecting Middle Eastern influences into traditional Western beats.

Searching for a story about music, filmmaker Laura Bialis ( Vishniac, BJF 2023) stumbles into a world she never imagined and encounters a creative community that captivates her, leading her to love and ultimately changing her life's course. 

Followed by a pre-recorded conversation with Director Laura Bialis, moderated by BJF Board President Ken Shulman, included with a ticket purchase.

Genie's story is one of twists and turns as she confronts the challenging choice to transition from her traditional Catholic family in Spain to embracing Judaism, ultimately opting for an Orthodox path. Her decision sends shockwaves through her family and friends, while her own conviction about her family's Jewish roots in the Iberian Peninsula centuries prior only deepens.
