This documentary examines the rise in anti-Semitism following the 9/11 attacks, drawing inspiration from a discredited book that purportedly outlined the Jews' plan for taking over the world. The filmmakers show how the work, despite being fraudulent, has been embraced by anti-Semites in some parts of the world. Meanwhile, interview subjects include orthodox Jews and Holocaust survivors, as well as neo-Nazis and the founder of a Holocaust denial site, exposing modern-day hatred toward the Jews.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Levin’s curiosity and evenhandedness distinguish the movie, though he’s largely silent about the pro-Israel lobby’s influence on U.S. foreign policy, the basis for some of his subjects’ paranoia. Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times The only civilized response to this display of abject ignorance, hatred and bigotry is one of anguished despair, but Levin's film enlightens as much as it enrages. Rated: 3/4 Apr 21, 2006 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Illuminates manifestations of anti-Semitism without ever really elucidating or posing solutions to the problem. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 4, 2006 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News ... a tabloid treatment of issues that deserve a more nuanced treatment. Mar 5, 2018 Full Review Kam Williams Upstage Magazine A picture which makes a great case against intolerance simply by shedding a bright light on ignorance. Rated: 4/4 Jul 14, 2007 Full Review Scott Mendelson rec.arts.movies.reviews Rated: C- May 7, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Bulgantamir B Actors worked very commendable nice :)) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Bahad j I really liked the characters and actions of the actors Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Audience Member nu are o structura clara, urmareste mai multe threaduri. am vazut primele 30 de min Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This was not great. Levin spends most of this time saying stuff along the lines of "Can you believe anyone believes this?" instead of trying to prove why they shouldn't. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Good doc about a really unfortunate topic... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
