COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!

Dir. Amber Fares | Documentary | U.S.A. / France | 2025 | 1 hr. 35 min. | English, Hebrew, and Arabic, with English subtitles

Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up as the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging her audiences with hard truths that are no laughing matter. Finely balancing gravity and levity, this documentary won a world-cinema special-jury award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
