Noam, who is Israeli, tried to change the politics of her country through her work at the United Nations. She failed. Now she’s doing it through stand-up comedy.
Filmed over five turbulent years, this documentary follows the personal, professional, and political journey of Noam Shuster Eliassi — a Jewish comedian and activist. Raised in a bilingual Israeli-Palestinian village — the only intentionally integrated community in the country — Noam grows disillusioned with traditional peace activism. She pivots to stand-up and quickly attracts attention across the Middle East. But as her star rises, everything around her falls apart. With biting satire, Noam pushes her audiences to face difficult truths that aren't always funny but do remind us that another reality is possible.
