Israelism
Screening of the award winning documentary, Israelism, followed by discussion, led by Jerome McDonnell, WBEZs past host of Worldview.
When two young American Jews - who had been raised to unconditionally support Israel - witness Israels brutal treatment of Palestinians, their lives are changed. They join a growing movement of American Jews, many young, battling to redefine Judaisms relationship with Israel, revealing a deepening divide over modern Jewish identity.
ISRAELISM uniquely explores changing Jewish attitudes towards Israel with massive consequences for all who are committed to a just and lasting peace.
Directed by two first-time Jewish filmmakers who share a similar story to the films protagonists, ISRAELISM is produced by Peabody-winner & 6-time Emmy-nominee Daniel J. Chalfen (Loudmouth, Boycott) along with activist and filmmaker Nadia Saah (Mo, Omar, 5 Broken Cameras), executive produced by two-time Emmy-winner Brian A. Kates (Marvelous Ms. Maisel, Succession, The Plot Against America) and edited by Emmy-winner Tony Hale (The Story of Plastic).
