This true sto­ry of the spir­i­tu­al and musi­cal jour­ney of Jason Schachter McK­in­ney deals with the dif­fi­cul­ties African-her­itage Jews have in being accept­ed in Amer­i­can soci­ety. From his hum­ble begin­nings at an Ortho­dox Jew­ish days school in Wis­con­sin to a pro­fes­sion­al singer’s career in opera hous­es and con­cert halls around the world, Jason Belongs tells the sto­ry of a tal­ent­ed child who strug­gles to find the true pur­pose of his musi­cal gifts, and how they can help him con­nect to his reli­gious beliefs.
