Special Jury Award for Freedom of Expression, World Cinema Documentary, Sundance Film Festival

Growing up in Neve Shalom, an "oasis of peace" where Israelis and Palestinians choose to live together, Noam Shuster Eliassi spent a large portion of her life advocating for human rights for both Israelis and Palestinians. As part of a peace project for Harvard University, Shuster Eliassi channels her passion into a comedy show that offers both laughs and hard truths. This award-winning documentary follows Shuster Eliassi's journey to create the show, made all the more difficult by the devastating violence unfolding at home. In the end, she makes a surprising argument why co-existence between the two sides is more impossible than ever.
