 Defamation (Hashmatsa) Director: Yoav Shamir Writer: Yoav Shamir Cast: N/A Distributor: First Run Features Country: Israel Theatrical Release Date: November 20, 2009 Synopsis: What is anti-Semitism today, two generations after the Holocaust? In his continuing exploration of modern Israeli life, director Yoav Shamir (Checkpoint, 5 Days, Flipping Out) travels the world in search of the most modern manifestations of the “oldest hatred", and comes up with some startling answers. In this irreverent quest, he follows American Jewish leaders to the capitals of Europe, as they warn government officials of the growing threat of anti-Semitism, and he tacks on to a class of Israeli high school students on a pilgrimage to Auschwitz.
