Dancing in Jaffa
Using dance to break down cultural and religious barriers.
Overview
In this charming documentary renowned ballroom dancer Pierre Dulaine returns to Jaffa, Tel Aviv to fulfil his lifelong dream of teaching dance to Jewish and Palestinian children in Israel. The kids selected take a fair bit of convincing that this is a good idea.
Some flatly refuse but with Pierre's encouragement children who would otherwise never associate with one another learn to dance together and trust each another. Through the language of dance the children are forced to confront issues of identity, segregation and racial prejudice.
