I produced and edited the most recent film from director Alison Klayman (Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry & The Brink). In the lead-up to Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City, many of the city’s Jewish leadership, as well as pundits and politicians, worked overtime arguing that the candidate’s history of support for Palestine represented a threat to Jews. Rather than a controversy over a particular election or candidate, the film reveals a fierce battle among American Jews over identity, history, and responsibility.
