Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, AMONG NEIGHBORS examines the story of a small rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on the only living Holocaust Survivor from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there—not by Nazis but by her own Polish neighbors.
“Among Neighbors” is an evocative and heart-pounding murder mystery with urgent political relevance.
"The animated scenes of events during the war bring it all home with dramatic impact. Potash's film should stand as a vital document in the history of Gniewoszów." - Bradley Gibson. Film Threat
"Potash’s determination and fortitude to follow these stories plays out in so many satisfying ways. His ability to gradually tease out what Pelagia has kept hidden inside her for more than 70 years is breathtaking." - Neely Swanson, Beverly Hills Courier
