Among Neighbors
The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Among Neighbors is a 2025 American documentary film, directed, written, and produced by Yoav Potash. Ten years in the making, Among Neighbors reveals the “gripping, deeply emotional murder mystery surrounding the killing of Jews in the small town of Gniewoszów, Poland — months after WWII had concluded.” The film centers on Yaacov Goldstein, a Holocaust survivor, and Pelagia Radecka, an eyewitness to the murder of Jews in Gniewoszów, Poland, six months after the end of World War II. Anita Friedman also appears in the film and serves its Executive Producer. Among Neighbors has received widespread critical acclaim not only for its powerful and, at times, beautiful tale of human suffering, longing and resilience, but also for its creative use of hand-drawn animation, which brings the past to life with touches of magical realism. The film’s documentation of Polish complicity in the near-total eradication of Jewish life in Poland, however, has sparked outrage among far-right nationalists in the Polish government. In November 2025, the office of Polish President Karol Nawrocki called for the film to be banned and Poland’s national broadcasting council launched an investigation into the film. Among Neighbors had its world premiere at the 2024 Warsaw Jewish Film Festival, where it won the Special Award, which included a cash prize funded by Telewizja Polska (also known as TVP), a Polish public television network. The film received critical acclaim and 16 other accolades, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and seven film festival audience awards, earning it the title “the year’s most-awarded Jewish film.” Among Neighbors was released theatrically in Israel in April 2025, shortly before a national primetime broadcast on yes docu that was timed to coincide with Yom HaShoah. Immediately following the broadcast, the film began streaming in Israel on the STING+ platform. The film was released theatrically in the United States on October 10, 2025 by 8 Above. Among Neighbors began streaming in the United States and many other countries Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV on May 12, 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
