This documentary examines the rise in anti-Semitism following the 9/11 attacks, drawing inspiration from a discredited book that purportedly outlined the Jews' plan for taking over the world. The filmmakers show how the work, despite being fraudulent, has been embraced by anti-Semites in some parts of the world. Meanwhile, interview subjects include orthodox Jews and Holocaust survivors, as well as neo-Nazis and the founder of a Holocaust denial site, exposing modern-day hatred toward the Jews.

The only civilized response to this display of abject ignorance, hatred and bigotry is one of anguished despair, but Levin's film enlightens as much as it enrages. Go to Full Review
