ABOUT THE SPECIAL EVENT

The Special Event Q&A includes a brief pre-recorded introduction by filmmaker Yoav Potash, and an in-depth post-film Q&A compilation that reveals the fascinating making-of stories –– as well as the ongoing controversy –– behind this critically-acclaimed film. The Q&A compilation was filmed live at sold-out screenings in New York, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area, lending a special event feel to the content.

FILM SYNOPSIS

Using beautiful hand-drawn animation to bring the past to life, "Among Neighbors" investigates the story of a small, rural town where the longstanding peace between Jewish and Polish neighbors was shattered by World War II. Now, in an era where difficult truths about the past are being silenced for political gain, the film focuses on the only living Holocaust survivor from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there - six months after the Nazis were defeated. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash ("Crime After Crime," Sundance Film Festival), "Among Neighbors" is an evocative and heart-pounding murder mystery with urgent political relevance.
