Dancing in Jaffa

Returning to the birthplace he fled with his family as a 4-year-old in 1948─Jaffa, Israel─celebrated ballroom dancer Pierre Dulaine applied his singular skills to try and bridge an ancient cultural divide, as he enlisted 11-year-olds from Palestinian and Jewish schools and gave them a collective grounding in dance basics. The surprising results are revealed in a pointed and poignant documentary effort. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
