In honor of Black History Month, I will be reviewing one of my favorite films of all time: Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X.” This 1992 masterpiece is a biopic of civil rights activist Malcolm X, chronicling his early childhood, time in prison, conversion to Islam and life leading up to his assassination.

Tel Aviv, Israel. 18-year-old Shira Mendelmen (Hadas Yaron) has a decision to make. When her sister Esther dies during childbirth, Esther’s husband Yochai (Yichtaf Klein) considers moving to Belgium with their son Mordechai.

Fill the Void explores the conflict between familial duties and personal desires in a deeply religious Hasidic neighborhood.

Translation feels like a love letter to Latin music as the group experiments with several Latin genres including reggaetón, dembow, moombahton and Latin trap.

Rather, it signals the return of the Black Eyed Peas into the mainstream.
