TRAILER
SYNOPSIS
story
Since October 7th, 2023, Rapaport has been on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from the euphoric highs of finding his Jewish identity to the gut-wrenching lows of being canceled by Hollywood for his outspoken views in support of Israel. This documentary captures the raw, unfiltered truth of his experiences, mixing side-splitting comedy with heartbreaking reality. It's a wild ride, filled with laughter, tears, and a whole lot of kvetching.
At the heart of the film is Michael Rapaport’s stand-up show — the thread that pulls us through the story. We flow seamlessly in and out of the performance, diving into raw vérité moments that reveal the man behind the mic.
This isn’t your typical documentary. It’s funny, fearless, and deeply human — a mix of sharp comedy, loss, self-doubt, and discovery. Rapaport’s stage becomes a mirror, reflecting what it means to stand up for who you are, in a world forever changed since October 7th.
It’s meaningful entertainment — where humor and truth move as one.
