James Sullivan, program director, Newburyport Documentary Film Festival, will interview Sam Eilertson, the Boston-based co-director of the timely new film ISRAELISM. It tells the story of two young American Jews raised to support Israel unconditionally. When they visit Palestine and see firsthand what life is like there, their reconsidered beliefs come to mirror a generational shift in modern Jewish identity. They join a movement of young American Jews battling the old guard to redefine Judaism's relationship with Israel, revealing a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity. After months of special screenings, ISRAELISM will begin streaming on various platforms, including Amazon Prime and Apple TV, on June 7th. Sam Eilertson, will discuss the film on Wednesday, June 12, at 7:00 p.m. on YouTube.
