A Song Called Hate

Watch Trailer
2021 · 90 min Documentary
8.6 / 10 · TMDB

The pro-Palestinian, anti-capitalist, BDSM-provocative, techno-punk performance art ensemble Hatari unsurprisingly drew attention to themselves with their performance at the Icelandic qualifiers for the Eurovision Song Contest. So much so that they won and therefore were allowed to perform at the main event in Tel Aviv. But what now? Should they boycott the event, swallow their idealism, or use their airtime to criticise the host country for their illegal occupation of Palestine? The Icelandic director Anna Hildur joins the boys in the band all the way to the fateful final.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Anna Hildur's film transcends the typical tour documentary, becoming a tense ethical thriller about the collision of art, politics, and commerce. It meticulously charts the band's internal struggle, where ideological purity battles the immense platform of Eurovision.

What lingers after the final note is a profound unease about the mechanisms of protest in a mediated age and the personal cost of holding a mirror to power. — MovieFinder Editorial
