David Baddiel, renowned writer and comedian, is set to spotlight a subtle yet pervasive form of antisemitism in his new documentary titled Jews Don’t Count.
This show looks beyond the blatant antisemitic notions that we’re accustomed to, such as Nazi ideologies, shedding light on the overlooked exclusion of Jews, particularly by those vocally supporting other minorities.
Drawing from various sectors, from popular culture and sports to politics and theatre, Baddiel raises a pivotal question: Why, in this era marked by heightened awareness of racism and discrimination, do Jews often seem side-lined?
