Reel Work Labor Film Festival Presents:

Coexistence My Ass!

(by Amber Fares, 2025, 95 min, Israel & Palestine)

Treat yourself to this Sundance Award-winning film that skewers comforting narratives with razor-sharp wit, deep humanity, and a fierce commitment to liberation—inviting audiences to laugh, reflect, and engage.

Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging her audiences with hard truths that are no laughing matter.

Eliassi is an anti-Zionist, Jewish-Iranian Israeli who speaks fluent Arabic and grew up in a tiny village in Israel where Jews and Palestinians choose to live together.

This holiday season, invite your family to see Noam's story that delivers big laughs while cracking open hard questions about the myth of "coexistence" and what equity and justice actually require.
