NEW FILM CALLS ON N. AMERICAN JEWS TO MOVE TO ISRAEL
By Israel National News Staff
A provocative film calling for North American Jewry to "Free your
mind" and come home to Israel has been spreading rapidly over the
Internet since its release on the first day of Chanukah.
The film, which uses allegories developed in the Matrix series of
films, was produced and directed by Kumah, a grassroots movement
dedicated to encouraging and facilitating mass Aliyah to Israel by all
Jews of the exile.
"The original Matrix film portrayed people living a life that seemed
normal, but was essentially a physical prison and a mental illusion,"
an explanation accompanying the film explains. "Their slavery did not
seem like slavery at all; quite the opposite - it seemed like the good
life.
"The Matrix movies also contain a sense of personal-messianism - the
power of an empowered person to help others and subsequently change
the world. A person can break out, free himself from the shackles of
that prison and take part in a revolution of freedom - but first he
has to wake up!"
The film portrays the process of personal awakening that thousands of
North American Jews have undergone, leading them to choose a sometimes
difficult life in the Jewish State over the American Dream.
The lead character in both the original Matrix films as well as the
"KuMatrix", as members of the Kumah production team call their film,
is named Neo. The ideology of Kumah, which calls for an Aliyah
Revolution of Jews moving to Israel by choice and joining the Jewish
project in the Land of Israel, is self-described as Neo-Zionism.
