A bold mix of stand-up comedy and documentary, this film throws us into Michael Rapaport’s life after 10/07. As the world shifts, Rapaport is pushed to confront his Jewish identity —onstage, online, and in public. His outspoken support of Israel triggers fierce backlash, and the cost is steep and unavoidable: personal relationships fracture, emotional pressure intensifies, and professional doors slam shut. With raw access and razor-sharp humor, the film races between sold-out shows and sudden isolation, big laughs and real pain. Defiant, funny, and fearless, this is a high-speed ride about risking everything to stand up for what you believe.

Born in France, she lived in New York and Tokyo before moving to Israel six years ago. She works in a deeply immersive vérité style to explore what unfolds behind the scenes of public events—the vulnerability, moral complexity, and personal price individuals pay when living through conflict.
