SYNOPSIS:
A young Jewish man develops a fiercely anti-Semitic worldview. Based on the true story of a KKK member in the 1960s who was revealed to be Jewish by a New York Times reporter. The Believer explores a Jewish student’s private journey to understand the meaning of Judaism in his life. Set in New York City, the plot follows a morally confused young adult struggling with the conflict between his beliefs and his heritage. The Believer examines themes of religion, family, and self-loathing. It is a psychological examination into the forces of intolerance, both on the individual and society as a whole.
