Punk Jews in NYC

Punk Jews-Work in Progress from Evan Kleinman on Vimeo.

Cool Hunting reports on a new documentary recently funded by a successful $10,000 drive on Kickstarter.

The documentary includes interviews with Jewish hip-hop artist YLove, so the definition of "punk" is cast beyond the 1970s and 80s-era definition. YLove is quoted describing how he has experienced racial prejudice within Judaism.

These kinds of stories are gateways to better understanding between people and cultures. Music, especially alternative music, provides a nexus point for shared interest across cultures. Similar to Josh Asen's I Love Hip Hop in Morocco, Punk Jews looks like it would be a great cultural relations piece.
