It's Better to Jump (2013) explores the ancient walled city of Akka, situated on Israel's northern coast, where a historic seawall has stood for centuries. This city, now a modern urban center with a diverse population of Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Baha'i, has a rich history dating back to the era of the Egyptian Pharaohs. A daring tradition persists among the youth, who climb the 40-foot, one-meter thick seawall and leap into the turbulent sea below. This risky ritual has been a rite of passage for generations in Akka. The documentary delves into the economic hardships and significant social transformations that Akka is currently experiencing. It highlights the dreams and worries of the Palestinian residents who live in the Old City, offering a poignant glimpse into their lives amidst these challenges.
