Om filmen COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!
This documentary follows Noam Shuster Eliassi as she uses humour to shed light on the relationship between Israelis and Palestinians. Through stand-up, personal experiences, and political satire, the film shows how humour can be a powerful tool for challenging injustice and power structures. The result is a powerful, thought-provoking and at times very funny film about politics, identity and resistance.
