This week marks the 20th anniversary of the suicide bombing at the iconic Tel Aviv bar Mike's Place. The attack, perpetrated by two radical British Moslems, killed three people and wounded 50 others. Among the injured was Jack Baxter, a US-based documentary filmmaker and freelance journalist who had arrived in Israel and partnered with director Joshua Faudem to make a documentary about the unique social ecosystem of the blues bar on the beach. Baxter is currently in Israel, for a special screening of the resulting 2004 film: Blues By the Beach.  It will take place this coming Friday, April 28th, at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. Baxter spoke earlier this week to KAN's Naomi Segal. (Photo: Screenshot) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
