country too often torn apart by terrorism. the bar has an international feel. nearly everyone speaks english, and talking about politics and religion is discouraged. >> a good bartender knows how to get out of it eloquently. a good line is, are we still talking about sex? >> jack has chosen mike's place as the subject of his documentary to show how israelis are coping with the violence. >> okay, here you go. why not? >> over the course of just two weeks, jack has become close friends with the owner, gal, bartenders josh and pavla, avi, who works security, and dominique, a 24-year-old waitress from france who has dreams of opening her own pastry shop. >> she really affected me, and i guess the film shows what she's like. >> if things are going well i see myself maybe having my own little coffee shop things or selling cakes to half of tel aviv, buying my cakes.
