Long Synopsis:
​
Set against the current wave of fascism and anti-Semitism sweeping the globe, Afterward delves into the secret wounds carried by victims as well as victimizers through testimonies ranging from horrifying to hopeful. Jerusalem-born trauma expert and director Ofra Bloch forces herself to confront her personal demons in a journey that takes her to Germany, Israel and Palestine.

​Seen as a victim in Germany and a perpetrator in Palestine, Bloch faces those she was raised to hate as she searches to understand the identity-making narratives of the Holocaust and the Nakba, violent and non-violent resistance, and the possibility of reconciliation.


​The film points towards a future - an "afterward" - that attempts to live with the truths of history in order to make sense of the present.
