About the film
Noam Shuster Eliassi grew up the literal poster child for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process before making a hard pivot to stand-up comedy and political satire. But as the region sinks deeper into devastating violence, she must meet the moment by challenging her audiences with hard truths that are no laughing matter.

What people are saying
“Coexistence stands alongside the Oscar-nominated No Other Land (2024) in the way it provides vivid personal testimony about the daily realities of Israeli-Palestinian lives.”
Allan Hunter
“Coexistence My Ass! offers perhaps the fullest consideration yet of this chapter of history in the making. There are extraordinary docs that precede or intersect with the current escalation, but the benefit of time and the personal reflection make this documentary essential viewing to understand what it means to assess a situation from a point of unease, rather than comfort. Laughter often proves the best medicine for uncomfortable situation. The film proves just what the doctor ordered.”
Pat Mullen
“"[Noam Shuster] Eliassi and “Coexistence, My Ass” do the impossible and deliver radical ideas through humor. Rarely has comedy felt this serious and urgent."”
Tomris Laffly
““Coexistence, My Ass!,” remains a compelling front row seat to a country on the brink of implosion”
Marya E. Gates
