Remembering Charlie Megira 10 years after his passing
(Israel 2019)
Dir: Boaz Goldberg
In the early 2000s, journalist and musician Boaz Goldberg began documenting his friend Gabi Abudraham – a dreamy young man from Beit She’an with an obsession with Elvis, an affinity for mysticism and virtuosic musical talent. The shy Abudraham – a stranger to Tel Aviv and a Mizrahi in a scene dominated by young people from the city’s central and northern neighborhoods – creates the eccentric persona of Charlie Megira, embarking on a stormy musical journey that reaches the largest stages in the United States. Alongside his struggle for artistic recognition worldwide, Abudraham constantly battles the inner demons he sought to silence through this larger-than-life persona. Spanning nearly two decades, Tomorrow’s Gone explores what happens when an artist crosses the boundaries he set for himself.
