It's Better to Jump

In the coastal city of Acre, Israel, a generations-old tradition of youngsters leaping off the edge of a high seawall to the waters below is shown to be a powerful metaphor for self-determination, in this exotic documentary. Reviewing the political upheavals transforming a place where Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Bahá'í mix, this film focuses on the plight of Arabs who feel displaced in the midst of turbulent social change. 88 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
