"A #documentary about the #murder of five #Jews in a #Polish town is being threatened with a #ban in #Poland — not because they were killed in the #Holocaust, but because they weren’t.
The Jews at the heart of “Among Neighbors,” from #California-based #filmmaker #YoavPotash, died six months after the end of #Nazi #occupation. They were among a handful of survivors from #Gniewoszów, a town where about 1,500 Jews made up half the population before #WorldWarII. When they returned home in 1945, they were killed by their Polish neighbors.
Since premiering at the #Warsaw #Jewish #Film Festival in November 2024, “Among Neighbors” has been screened in six countries and qualified for #AcademyAward consideration. But its release on TVP, the Polish public broadcaster, has prompted uproar from right-wing politicians and a national investigation."

The #Lhotshampa are an ethnic Nepalese group from southern #Bhutan. They were expelled to #Nepal in the early 90s, in an #EthnicCleasing campaign. The #USA, especially #RochesterNY, has a large #community of #refugees.
The #GrossNationalHappiness index that the Bhutanese #monarchy promotes was built on the backs of Lhotshampa and Nepalese #immigrant #labor. The Lhotshampa have been ignored by the #world and denied much-needed #resettlement, #jobs, #MentalHealth, and #CulturalPreservation #aid.
#AlJazeera has a two-part #documentary on the Lhotshampa:
