It's Better to Jump (2013)

There is a centuries-old seawall in the ancient port of Akka, located on Israel's northern coast. Today, Akka is a modern city inhabited by Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Baha'i, but its history goes all the way back to rule of the Egyptian Pharaohs. Young people dare to stand atop the 40' one-meter thick block structure and risk their fate by jumping into the roiling sea. This perilous tradition has continued for many generations, and has become a rite of passage for the children of Akka. "It's Better to Jump" is about the ancient walled city of Akka as it undergoes harsh economic pressures and vast social change. The film focuses on the aspirations and concerns of the Palestinian inhabitants who call the Old City home.

I thought this a very thoughtful, beautifully filmed documentary concerning the plight of the Palestinians in Acca, the ancient city formerly in Palestine, now Israel. with the onset of modernism and political agenda, the Palistinians, and the makers of this film, portray very human individuals from children on up struggling to stay in Acca. They cannot remodel their houses. They do not receive equal education, and yet the message or theme of this film as not vituperative. Stating the facts. It caused me to wonder about the global backlash of Imperialism. Most people believe that humankind is one. I know the Palestinian, Jewish Man and myself were vocal about this subject with the director. She gave me her card, and I think it fell out of my pocket, but kudos to all connected to this film. The photography was incredible and the film definitely was enhanced by shots of youth jumping/plunging into the deep waters. The film was tight, human, luminous and insightful. I recommend it highly.

Directors Patrick Alexander Stewart, Gina M. Angelone and Mouna B. Stewart have failed to construct the often emotional personal accounts into a compelling film.

Dennis Harvey 25 Nov 2013

The three director-producers’ inability to come up with stronger narrative or thematic organization makes “It’s Better to Jump” play like the professionally polished side product of a vacation stay.

This brief film often feels like an extended gripe session instead of something more profound or game-changing.

The film feels like a work of community advocacy.
