TO BOX WITH GOD

Musical Film | 30m, 2021

feat. JOJO​

A musical cinema that raises questions about historical justice, ethics, and faith in the time of a pandemic, through the enigmatic persona known as JOJO. At its core, the film features a series of songs—electronic-messianic soundscapes paired with critical, apocalyptic texts. This chaotic work blends Trap with ancient Amazigh Piyyutim, Jewish spoken word with hip-hop, and electronic beats with documentary scenes and performance art.

"To Box with God" explores the intergenerational connection between two artists of Jewish-Moroccan descent, working within Jerusalem's underground scene and on international circuits. It offers a deep dive into their shared world.
