Decades after the Holocaust, award-winning American filmmaker Yoav Potash (Crime After Crime, Sundance Film Festival) unearths the haunting mysteries of Gniewoszów, a small Polish town where people of two different faiths lived side by side for centuries.

As attempts to rewrite this history in favor of a more politically convenient narrative gain momentum, Among Neighbors offers a powerful counterpoint. Revealing a tale of love and murder spanning seven decades, the film boldly asserts that true patriotism lies in facing history honestly, no matter how painful the truths may be. As life imitates art, political extremists and historical revisionists in Poland, including its president, have now called for the film itself to be banned.

The screening will be followed by a special conversation and Q&A with Director Yoav Potash, moderated by Cantor Jaime Shpall of Congregation Beth Am.
