Raging Souls
Twenty years after the Israeli rock group “Minimal Compact” was founded, the filmmaker, a lifetime fan, sets out on a journey to uncover the extraordinary story of the band which was popular in Europe in the 1980s, whose members are now scattered around Europe and Israel. Through interviews with former band members Rami Fortis, Berry Sakharof, Malka Spiegel, and Sami Birenbach, the “Rashomon”-like story of the band is revealed. From his childhood in the 1980s as a “Minimal Compact” fan, to his present interest in the band’s history as a filmmaker, the director tells the story of the band’s transformation while simultaneously chronicling his adolesence in Israel.
