Synopsis

In a small Polish town where a dark history has been silenced, an eyewitness to murder speaks out in search of the Jewish boy she loved.

Moviegoers are saying

Critics are hailing 'Among Neighbors' as a masterpiece of documentary filmmaking that seamlessly weaves animation with survivor testimonies to uncover the suppressed post-war history of Polish-Jewish relations in the town of Gniewoszów. Reviewers are particularly moved by the film's patient, unflinching approach to confronting how Jewish presence was systematically erased from official narratives, with many calling it one of the year's best documentaries.
