The critically acclaimed feature-length documentary "Israelism" examines a movement of young American Jews working to reshape Judaism's relationship with Israel. Centered on Simone Zimmerman, who grew up in Los Angeles and took part in an exchange program in Israel, and fellow American Eitan, who enlists in the Israeli military after high school, the film follows two individuals raised to support Israel unconditionally, yet whose perspectives are ultimately transformed through their experiences.
