Synopsis

A patriotic Zionist rapper, Subliminal, and a nationalist Arab rapper, Tamer, use the power of words and music to say what politicians cannot. Eventually, the two are drawn into verbal clashes, beginning at rap shows and culminating in late-night encounters. Channels of Rage, shot over three years, is a journey that documents these two poets of fury in a time of violence and despair.
