Description

Despite accusations of institutionalized systemic Nazism by the Russian government and its allies, Ukraine’s diverse Jewish community remains among the country’s most passionate patriots. Alex Osmolovsky’s illuminating documentary follows Ukrainian Jews from various backgrounds as they reflect on their relationship to their homeland and share how their lives have changed since the Russian invasion. With scenes of soldiers in camouflage kippahs and a bris performed on the front lines, the film paints a striking portrait of one of the world's most resilient Jewish communities as it navigates its way through more than three years of war.
