This film is SO enlightening. As a Jew who grew up thinking Israel was salvation -- a paradise -- and a safe haven, you realize the adage "too good to be true" is a more of an acute reality of its existence.
Yes, Jews have persecuted for ages, but what right do we have to transfer that trauma to another population? We don't.
What's happening in Gaza is heart wrenching - knowing this film was made beforehand is also interesting.
If you're a Jew, please watch this film. You need to see what it's like "on the other side" of the fence. Especially because there's nothing left of it.
Israel has a dark history that it's trying to cover up and forget and it's giving all Jews a bad name.
If you've seen the documentary Jesus Camp, Israelism is almost its Jewish counterpart. If you are or were among the Hebrew school-going, youth group, Jewish summer camp and Birthright crowd, please, I implore you to watch this with an open mind.
I'm giving it 8 stars instead of 10 because I wish it added in a timeline of the history of what happened so viewers can digest it better. And it never addresses the development and plight of Hamas which I think is a huge miss.
Even still, incredibly important and extremely well done. Thank you for making this.

I just watched this film and I now need to go for a walk and get some air. It was a mix of funny, intense, beautiful, and heart-wrenching. Jaime and her co-starts are all perfectly cast and give an outstanding performance. The characters are so relatable and touch on everything from relationship doubts to the sometimes unexplainable and irreplaceable connection between two friends. It's also a great depiction/exploration of what can happen when two people bond over a trauma and opposing POVs collide. The two main characters, Andi and Mason, have otherworldly chemistry and emotionally raw dialogue. The film is brave and completely engrossing. It doesn't feel like watching a film, but more like you're watching real life. Highly recommend but be prepared to take some time afterward to reflect and breathe.
