The Show is a Film launch party featuring the newest Jerusalem U film "Mekonen: The Journey of an African Jew"
The File Mekonen follows the personal journey of Mekonen Abebe, a young African-Israeli Jewish IDF soldier, as he returns to Ethiopia to explore his roots, make peace with his past, and embrace his future in Israel.
The film is followed by a hip-hop concert of Cafe Shahor Hazak (Strong Black Coffee). The Duo are two young Ethiopian-Israeli hip-hop artists inspired by rappers such as 2PAC, P-Ditty and Jay-Z. They deliver positive, inspirational messages.
Both "Mekonen" and the band tell the stories of successful Israeli immigrants, one in the army and one in the music industry.
