The movie includes music and songs of Miri Masika a young star on the Israeli music scene. The DVD is in the PAL system and region 2. Today any multi-system DVD player should handle this with no problem and any library that acquires or plays DVDs from Europe will have no problem.

Sincerely, Jeff * the star reflects 'Jewish' content, like Coolosh song entitled, 'Hassidic Madness,' Yamim Ketumim, dati - leumi prayer and protest, Kengeroo, 'Bo'u Nahzor Habayta Le-Tzion, and Ayalla's very Israeli pop with Ethiopian influence.
