Description: Israeli director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative – and at
times irreverent – quest to answer the question, “What is
anti-Semitism 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 traveling to places like Auschwitz (alongside
Israeli school kids) and Brooklyn (to explore reports of violence
against Jews), Shamir discovers the realities of anti-Semitism
today.
His findings are shocking, enlightening and –
surprisingly – often wryly funny.
