Reckoning With Laughter

Credits: Director/Producer

Noam Shuster is a peace builder-turned-comedian whose political satire makes headlines across the Middle East.

She was about to launch her one-woman US comedy tour when the first coronavirus wave hit. She returns to Israel and soon finds herself recovering from COVID-19 in a government-assigned hotel – where Palestinians and Israelis laugh together at her jokes.

But, as the pandemic sends the world into a tailspin, exposing racial and economic injustice, Noam is reminded how much work needs to be done in Israel.
