Coexistence, My Ass! in title, conception, and content—brings a bold frankness and a lens of great clarity to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Director Amber Fares earned the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Freedom of Expression from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival with this urgent documentary, made over several years. With a narrative backbone of Noam Shuster-Eliassi’s brilliant stand-up set, developed at Harvard University and filmed before a live audience, the film documents not only the shifting perspective of Eliassi—a UN diplomat turned comedian—but also the unfolding realities in the region and the resulting seismically dynamic discourse surrounding it. — Ash Hoyle
