Beautiful and thought-provoking documentary that delves into the generational shift in perceptions of Israel among American Jews. The film explores how some American Jews are educated with a narrative of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that largely omits Palestinian perspectives. It features interviews with notable figures like Noam Chomsky, Cornell West, Jeremy Ben-Ami, and Sami Awad, highlighting the viewpoints of Simone Zimmerman, co-founder of IfNotNow, and a former IDF soldier known as "Eitan."
The narrative of the documentary is centered around these young individuals who, confronted with the realities of Israel's treatment of Palestinians, find themselves at odds with the teachings of their youth. Their journey is not just a personal one but also signifies a broader generational divide, as they strive to challenge and redefine the established norms, battling the old guard to create a movement that opposes Israel's occupation and seeks to recenter Judaism itself.
