Blacks And Jews

The Psychology of Victimization and Media Exploration

Scholars and critics probe the history and psychology of victimization shared between Blacks and Jews and their exploitation by the media.

The faultline between Blacks and Jews is one of the most visible symbols of America's racial divide. This film, made collaboratively by Jewish and Black filmmakers, goes behind the headlines and the rhetoric to try to heal the misunderstanding and mistrust. Blacks & Jews was acclaimed at the Sundance Film Festival for initiating a frank yet constructive nationwide dialogue between these two traditional allies.

Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Provocative and absorbing... Blacks and Jews will undermine stereotypes, inspire discussion, and help repair a wrongly damaged relationship." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

"Wonderfully entertaining - and illuminating...This important film has immediate implications for the way the two groups perceive and interact with each other...and should be embraced by Jewish and black organizations." - Emanuel Levy, Variety
