Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, Among Neighbours examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before WWII. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on the only living Holocaust survivor from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there; not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbours. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash.
