Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, Among Neighbors examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors.
Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash (“Crime After Crime,” Sundance Film Festival) and executive produced by Anita Friedman (JFCS of San Francisco, The Koret Foundation), Among Neighbors is a heart-pounding true-crime investigation with urgent political relevance and a love story spanning seven decades.
As has been reported by The San Francisco Chronicle and J Weekly Jewish News of Northern California, the office of Poland’s president is attempting to ban this acclaimed film. Every screening of Among Neighbors is now a victory for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and facing history honestly. Join us in upholding these important values and in experiencing this gripping and deeply moving film on the big screen!
