Hey guys I came across this film online, ordered a copy of it and I was really impressed. It is crazy to see how hip hop music is really spreading all over the world and how it can be used to make a positive change in a community. Saz is just one of many rappers all over the world working for a better tomorrow. This film is about his struggle as an Arab in a Jewish world and how he feels that hip hop can help bring a nation of enemies closer together. They are having a sale on the DVD ($19.99) till February 1st if you use the promotion code "SAZ". I hope you guys take the time to check this out. Its a must have in any hip hop film collection.
Here is some more info about the film

This provocative documentary goes behind the ghetto walls of Ramlah to look at a year in the life of budding Palestinian hip-hop star Sameh Zakout a.k.a. Saz. Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood as a third generation of a moderate family, Saz has had to learn to balance their traditional viewpoints with his strong feelings of insult and rage for the injustices his people have suffered. He does this through music, using it as a starting point for discussion with Israeli and Arab youth who have grown further apart since the recent Intifada.
For Saz, music is a place where people who disagree can come together. It takes him to the clubs and neighborhoods of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and London. The film also looks at his relationship with his aging grandfather, a refugee of the 1948 war. Their conversations reveal their differing ideologies. "I don’t see my Palestine being built by blood" says Saz. "It should be built by negotiations, not bombings in Tel Aviv. My bullets are my rhymes. My M-16 is my microphone".
