The Last Laugh

|
|
"A celebration of Jewish humor, not just its importance as a survival technique, but also just how much it has shaped our culture."
"[An] insightfully open-ended inquiry into the role of humor as it relates to unspeakable tragedy."
"Funny and sobering at the same time."

SYNOPSIS: THE LAST LAUGH dares to ask comedy legends Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Gilbert Gottfried, and many others (including survivors): “Are we allowed to joke about the Holocaust?” THE LAST LAUGH offers fresh insights into the Holocaust and what else—9/11, AIDS, racism—is or isn’t off-limits in a society that prizes freedom of speech. |
