Narrated by Mathieu Almaric, the star of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Being Jewish in France won the Jewish Experience Award at the Jerusalem International Film Festival.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Our Struggle: Responding to Mein Kampf, based on the French book and community art project Notre Combat.
