Between Two Worlds
The Jewish American Cultural Wars

Between tradition and change between loyalty and dissent. The film, Between Two Worlds, begins at the 2009 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, and the fallout over the screening of a documentary about activist Rachel Corrie, which is also critical of Israel. The event released a flood of emotions, with charges of anti-Semitism and self-hatred, McCarthyism and witch-hunts. Filmed in the United States and Israel, Between Two Worlds is a personal documentary that explores the divisions that are redefining Jewish identity and politics in America and beyond. The filmmakers' own families are battlegrounds over loyalty to Israel, interpretations of the Holocaust, intermarriage and a conversion to Islam, and a secret Communist past.

Screening to be followed by a moderated conversation with the audience.
