In this bold and urgent documentary, comedian Noam Shuster‑Eliassi trades traditional peace activism for uproarious stand-up, launching a one-woman show called Coexistence, My Ass! that takes on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty. Filmed over five tumultuous years, the journey follows her upbringing in the deliberately integrated village of Neve Shalom (Oasis of Peace), her time at the UN, and then a dramatic pivot to live comedy as violence, politics, and protest collide around her.

As the film traces how her jokes evolve into acts of resistance, it forces us to question: when coexistence sounds like a joke, what else can we say? With humor as her weapon, Noam asks the hard questions—about equality, identity and the very possibility of peace in a land divided.

Already turning heads globally, the film is the winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Freedom of Expression at Sundance Film Festival (2025), the Golden Alexander Award for Best Documentary at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival (2025) and recipient of the CDS Filmmaker Award at Full Frame Documentary Film Festival (2025) – proof that laughter can be both subversive and essential.
