Plot Synopsis

AS1ONE: THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN POP MUSIC JOURNEY is a four-part documentary that follows six young men -- the world's first mixed Israeli-Palestinian pop group -- who came together to form the next global hit pop group, as1one. The series explores music as the ultimate connector, chronicling the journey to create the world's first Israeli-Palestinian pop group. Over a five year period, the band members share their ups and downs including the challenging audition process in 2020; their language barriers, intense rehearsals, emotional highs and lows as they found their footing; navigating the very unexpected world events that happened on October 7th, 2023 -- the morning after they flew to LA to record their first album; and the monumental challenges they have faced each day since. With so much more at stake because of the war, the band finds greater purpose in their music now representing something much greater than the six of them. Envisioned by music entrepreneurs James Diener and Ken Levitan, the series spotlights the work of platinum-selling artists and producers, stylists, choreographers and industry leaders, all collaborating to create a group that embodies unity, with members agreeing to disagree on the war in their homeland as they focus on making music together. Amidst raw interactions and real-world challenges, their journey unfolds with a distinctive edge -- just like the unique composition of their band. Each step captures the authenticity that sets them apart, making their story as compelling as their sound.
