How easy is it to hate? Beginning with the hatred that led to the filmmaker’s German-Jewish father fleeing the Nazi Holocaust, this film documents hatred in its various forms. From that intimate, inherited wound, it expands outward to ask how hatred operates in the modern world: in the lives of the poor and people of colour in New York, and in the ancient, unresolved collision of identity, religion and ideology between Israelis and Palestinians.
