Among Neighbors
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).

Among Neighbors is one of those docs you just can't stop thinking about.
Yoav Potash's incredible film investigates the murder of Holocaust survivors by their Polish neighbors in Gniewoszów...6 months after WWII had already ended.
What I particularly love about this film is how Potash tells the story. The hand-drawn animation isn't just a nostalgic choice, its a beautiful and powerful lens on history that is deeply painful to witness.
The timing of this doc couldn't be more urgent. With all of the misinformation and historical revisionism of our time, this is exactly the kind of film everyone needs to see. The very fact that nationalist groups in Poland are actively trying to ban it tells you everything you need to know and why you should watch it.
This is buried history fighting its way back to the surface. It's time to face the truth together.

Incredible, fascinating genre-bending film, masterfully blending hand-drawn animation with documentary footage to stunning effect. Full of plot twists too special to give away here. A MASTERPIECE! Just see it for yourself!
