“Over My Dead Body”
25 Minutes; Los Angeles
Director: Meital Cohen Navarro
Synopsis: The film explores an internal conflict surrounding a family of Jewish immigrants (played by Muslim actors) from Iran now living in present-day Los Angeles. I offer a window into the taboo subjects of religious intolerance and intermarriage outside of one’s culture. The choice that the heroine makes may seem controversial to some, but I believe it is a heart-wrenching and powerful decision that is becoming a new reality.
