They needed a cover story to cross the Israeli border. So They Created An All-Girl Rock Band.
THE PROMISED BAND is the story of a fake rock band comprised of Israeli and Palestinian women who have decided that, despite their dubious musical talent, a music group is the best cover story to meet and interact with each other. This film that makes the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so much more human and comprehensible than news reports or other documentaries that focus just on the region's incessant violence.
WINNER: Best Documentary – CINEQUEST Film Festival
