"From A to Z" is a loving look back at a viral phenomenon that burst out during the Covid pandemic: The Jerusalema Dance Challenge. After Master KG--a South African musician and record producer--wrote a beat, and Nomcebo Zikode wrote the lyrics, and the Angolan dance troupe "Fenómenos do Semba" created a line dance, people all over the world started posting videos of their group dancing. Hundreds of them. On airport runways, in schools, hospitals, nursing homes, at the beach, in churches and monasteries, on game reserves, in town squares, fire stations, police stations….anywhere and everywhere from Austria to Zimbabwe. I was very moved when I discovered the videos during the pandemic, so I wanted to celebrate how so many people took up the challenge and danced with joy and hope.
From A to Z: Jerusalema in 44 countries (2024) is currently not available on any services.
