Wrestling Jerusalem

“A work of deep but unsentimental optimism.” (The Hollywood Reporter)

Aaron Davidman’s Wrestling Jerusalem—which toured North America as a one-man theater piece for four years before this adaptation—is a film with a mission: to shed light on one of the most entrenched conflicts of our time. In a tour-de-force performance, Davidman conjures 17 separate characters with different perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As he deftly moves between male and female, Jewish and Muslim, and Israeli and Arab, he models what it takes to bear witness and see through the eyes of the other as he grapples with the complexities of identity, history, and social justice in a fresh and unforgettable way.

This film is part of the Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2018 series.
