Among Neighbors just won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award from @Kennedy_HRC. Launched in 1969, the RFK Journalism Awards honor work that explores human rights, social justice, and the power of individual action -- the most prestigious award the film has received to date.

A documentary about the murder of five Jews in a Polish town is being threatened with a ban in Poland. "Among Neighbors", from California-based filmmaker Yoav Potash, tells the story of Jewish Holocaust survivors returning home to Gniewoszów, only to be killed by their Polish neighbors. Since premiering at the Warsaw Jewish Film Festival in November 2024, "Among Neighbors" has been screened in six countries and qualified for Academy Award consideration. But its release on TVP, the Polish public broadcaster, has prompted uproar from right-wing politicians and a national investigation. A story not fitting the narrative someone wants does not make it less true. Jewish suffering existed before and after the Holocaust, and that cannot be denied.

@SameBrandon @scottEmovienerd Alopecia is not a disability. It’s an immune system reaction that causes patchy hair loss. It sucks, esp as a female, but it’s often treatable, and definitely not a fatal disease or disability. Rock shouldn’t have made the joke if he knew but it didn’t justify Will’s actions

Chris Rock’s joke was in bad taste but Will Smith’s reaction was way outta line. Smith took the low road & clearly has personal work to do. His speech later was very moving but his apology was to the Academy, not to Chris Rock. And not to the world who saw him normalize violence.

A bill directly inspired by my film @CrimeAfterCrime is now LAW. Thanks to @SenatorLorettaW, Debbie's lawyers & family. Now NJ joins California, NY, & Illinois in giving incarcerated survivors of abuse a path to freedom & justice. Four states down, 46 to go.

A new film tells the story of domestic violence survivors who were imprisoned for killing their abusers. It also helped one get out. nyti.ms/3pItCUb
