This Vice documentary series follows Mike Skinner as he travels through Israel and Palestine talking with everyone from Subliminal, Israel's most popular Jewish rapper, to Ben Blackwell, a rapper and member of the Black Hebrew Israelites — a Marcus Garvey-inspired spiritual community founded in Chicago in the 60s and now based in the Negev Desert. The full documentary features: Tamer Nafar of DAM, Ohad Cohen, Ben Blackwell, Subliminal, Saz and Rebel Sun. It is a fascinating documentary that addresses the politics of the region through the lens of this growing rap scene.
