Highly contemplative and well-executed doc revolving around the 2015 Maccabiah Games, apparently referred to in more common vernacular as the "Jewish Olympics," and held where we commonly see footage of Jesse Owens' dominating in Berlin as Hitler sulked in hate-driven disgust.
This film is not relegated to mere celebration, however, as the Maccabiah Games, we learn, have arisen from a continued modern-day emergence of the same hate that gave us Hitler.
Extremely well-conceived - it's sombering and triumphant - this is a modern historical doc that can't be missed, as it spotlights the dark forces at work within the human condition, and provides a persevering means by which to defeat them.
