Plot Summary
This enlightening documentary explores the unsuspecting connections among Rasta, Reggae, and Judaism, through one woman's beat-laden adventure into the meaning of identity. "Awake Zion" unites Jewish and Jamaican musicians, scholars, and historians in a celebration of roots and culture. Kicking off in Brooklyn, the film travels to Jamaica, the birthplace of reggae, and culminates in Israel, where a sizzling reggae scene thrives today. Everyone is forever chasing some kind of Zion be it geographic, material or spiritual. "Awake Zion" reminds us that, despite the struggle to get there, we are somehow always home.
