Coexistence, My Ass! is a new documentary opening Wednesday in New York highlighting Noam Shuster Eliassi, an Israeli comedian and peace activist. Shuster Eliassi hopes for justice and equality for Palestinians and to make present the elephant in the room" that a lot of artists in Israel prefer to ignore." We also speak with director Amber Fares, who says the film - like others dealing with the topic of Palestine - is struggling to find distribution in the United States but has six screenings already set up, including an opening at the IFC Center in New York City.
