Atlanta Jewish Film Festival – Coexistence, My Ass!

A volatile fusion of comedy and political fire drives a personal reckoning for an Israeli comic watching the dream of peaceful coexistence collapse in real time. Raised in an idealistic Jewish-Arab community, activist-turned-stand-up Noam Shuster Eliassi channels her multilingual, multicultural roots to tackle inequality and human rights across the Israeli-Palestinian divide. As her fame surges, her unapologetic wit collides with grief and fear in the shockwaves of October 7. Drawn from years of boundary-pushing performances, intimate archives, and backstage reflections, this Sundance Freedom of Expression Award winner emerges as a vital conversation igniter whose force reverberates whether audiences embrace her unflinching stance or bristle at the provocative questions she forces open.
