Between Two Worlds is a personal investigation using five unique stories that go beyond the superficial to reveal the passionate debates over identity and generational change that are taking place within today’s American Jewish community. Powerful and divergent feelings about Israel, issues involving ethnic and religious continuity, and the growth of the neo-conservative movement are just some of the provocative issues this film addresses. Once seen as a voting block, American Jews no longer seem to be speaking in a singular voice. Clearly intended to spark dialogue, Between Two Worlds is sure to spark a stimulating dialogue about today’s American Jewish community. Colorado Premiere
