Can music overcome borders and walls and bring people together? In 2017, Assaf Ben Shetrit was invited to a concert for Israeli and Palestinian teenagers. He was so inspired by this genuine effort to break a cycle of fear and distrust, that he's been working on Prophets of Change ever since.
Featuring an all-star roster of narrators, from J.K. Simmons to Forest Whitaker and Sarah Silverman, the inspiring film is divided into five "chapters." The first follows Sameh Zakout (Alsaz), a Palestinian rapper from Ramle, and Arnon 'Sun Tailor' Naor, an Israeli singer/songwriter; The second chapter is dedicated to Mira Awad, a Palestinian and Bulgarian "Art-avist" who grew up in Rameh village; The third chapter follows two heavy metal bands - the Israeli Orphaned Land and the Palestinian Khalas; The fourth focuses on Yael Deckelbaum, an Israeli singer/songwriter and musical activist; And the last chapter features System Ali, a hip-hop collective from Yafo.
