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.

Critics Consensus

Levin takes viewers on a personal journey, laying bare the ugly and varied faces of anti-Semitism.

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.

3/4

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.

Illuminates manifestations of anti-Semitism without ever really elucidating or posing solutions to the problem.

... a tabloid treatment of issues that deserve a more nuanced treatment.

4/4

A picture which makes a great case against intolerance simply by shedding a bright light on ignorance.

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.
