Tragic Awakening: A New Look at the Oldest Hatred is a profound and timely documentary sparked by the October 7 pogrom in Israel—the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. While the world responded with a shocking rise in Jew-hatred instead of empathy, this film digs into the roots of antisemitism with unvarnished candor. Where does such hatred come from, and can it be redirected for good? These are the questions it fearlessly tackles.
The film was crafted by a powerhouse team: Learn more about all those involved in the film here!
