Intent on shaking up the ultimate ‘sacred cow’ for Jews, Israeli director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative – and at times irreverent – quest to answer the question, “What is antisemitism today?” Does it remain a dangerous and immediate threat? Or is it a scare tactic used by right-wing Zionists to discredit their critics?
Speaking with an array of people from across the political spectrum (including the head of the Anti-Defamation League and its fiercest critic, author Norman Finkelstein) and travelling to places like Auschwitz (alongside Israeli schoolchildren) and Brooklyn (to explore reports of violence against Jews), Shamir discovers the realities of antisemitism today. His findings are shocking, enlightening and – surprisingly – often wryly funny.
