Portrait of Noam Shuster Eliassi who grew up in a Israeli/Palestinian community and who wants to bring people together through humor.
This film has a great deal going on. Nominally the story of Noam's creation of her one woman show the film, shot over five years, casts it's net bigger and wider. We watch as she truly wades in and confronts all of the insanity over the period the film was shot. It's a film that is very funny but also incredibly heart breaking, with her final words before the end credits roll acting as a sledgehammer.
This film is going to move you. Several weeks on I keep pondering the film and what happens. I will say that Noam has a clearer view of the way things should be than most politicians.
This is a great film. See it.
(This film will be playing at DOC NYC as part of the Contenders section)
