Winner of the Conflict & Resolution Award, Hamptons International Film Fest, this film is an unscripted, unplanned and unprecedented account of a terrorist attack at Mike’s Place, a popular live music bar on the Tel Aviv beachfront. Filmmaker Jack Baxter set out to show that terror, fear and bloodshed is not all that exists in , and selected Mike’s Place to show the laughter and music that still resonates throughout the country. No one could have ever suspected that this location would be the target of a suicide bombing. Blues by the Beach highlights the effects of terror, but also shows the aftermath and the healing that takes place as the members of this close-knit community struggle to move on while still honoring those who were lost.
