Checkpoint Rock:

Songs from Palestine

Dir.  Javier Corcuera and Basque musician Fermin Muguruza,  2009, 73 min.

 

Checkpoint Rock takes audiences on an incredible journey through Palestine, guided by some of its best-known, most inspiring musicians. The film spotlights the superb talents of the contemporary Palestinian music scene. Rappers, a wedding singer, and classical musicians express their personal struggles through their music. From the billboards and neon of Tel Aviv to the poverty and oppression of Gaza and the West Bank, the film presents a diversity of extraordinary performers who will change the vision we have of a people under occupation.
