When the Alexandria, Egypt police band gets lost on their way to inaugurate an Arab Cultural Center, they end up stranded in a remote Israeli town, where the residents reluctantly put them up for the night. Sasson Gabai plays the band's stoic conductor, Saleh Bakri a suave ladies man, and Ronit Elkabetz a sexy café owner who finds them a challenge. With a deadpan humor reminiscent of Jacques Tati and Jim Jarmusch, the film sweetly embraces a hope for peace and understanding. In Hebrew and Arabic with subtitles.

Sent to Manhattan to attend a conference, Walter is surprised to find a young couple has taken up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real estate scam, Tarek (Haaz Sleiman), a Syrian man, and Zainab (Danai Gurira), his Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go. In the first of a series of tests of the heart, Walter reluctantly allows the couple to stay with him. Touched by his kindness, the talented Tarek insists on teaching the aging academic to play the African drum. The instrument's exuberant rhythms revitalize Walter's faltering spirit and open his eyes to a vibrant world of local jazz clubs and Central Park drum circles. When Tarek is arrested as an undocumented citizen and held for deportation, Walter finds himself compelled to help his new friend with a passion he thought he had long ago lost. Written and directed by Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent).

Filming at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City in fall 2006, Scorsese assembled a legendary team of cinematographers to capture the raw energy of the legendary band, utilizing more than 18 cameras to pan and zoom in on every conceivable bit of the action. Shine a Light focuses on the music, dispensing with the talking-head device and opting instead for spare vintage newsreel and TV footage as the only non-performance-based commentary on the band. In his quest to document their performance, their stage presence, their camaraderie, Scorsese also captures the Stones' legendarily pumped up shows, concerts that absolutely belie the band members’ respective ages and electrify their fans.
