Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, "Among Neighbors" examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on the only living Holocaust survivor from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there -- not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash ("Crime After Crime", Sundance Film Festival).

Dixon W

"Among Neighbors" blew our minds. It was one of the best documentaries I've ever seen--in fact, one of the best movies I've ever seen. The true World War II-era story is amazing, and creative use of animation to deepen the narrative made it even more profound and emotionally affecting. It also has disturbing parallels with recent social/political developments. This is the type of movie that will not be shown in theaters that deliver predictable Hollywood schlock. It will play briefly in "art houses", so watch the movie schedules of your local art house and GO SEE IT!
