Intent on shaking up the ultimate sacred cow for Jews, Israelidirector Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative – and at times irreverent- quest to answer the question, What is anti-Semitism today?

Speaking with an array of people from across the politicalspectrum (including the head of the Anti-Defamation League and itsfiercest critic, author Norman Finkelstein) and traveling to placeslike Auschwitz (alongside Israeli school kids) and Brooklyn (toexplore reports of violence against Jews), Shamir discovers therealities of anti-Semitism today. His findings are shocking,enlightening and – surprisingly – often wryly funny.
