There is a centuries-old seawall in the ancient port of Acre, located on Israel's northern coast. Today, Acre (Arabic Akka, Hebrew: Akko) is a modern city inhabited by Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Baha'i, but its history goes all the way back to rule of the Egyptian Pharaohs. Young people dare to stand atop the 13 meter high, one-meter thick block structure and risk their fate by jumping into the roiling Mediterranean. This perilous tradition has become a rite of passage. "It's Better to Jump" is about the life of Muslims living in the ancient walled city of Acre as it undergoes harsh economic pressures and significant social change.—Doctor Bits
