Guns & Moses
OPENING NIGHT EVENT WITH RECEPTION
Moses Zaltzman is a beloved Hasidic rabbi in a dusty desert town. When his congregation is violently attacked, police quickly arrest a young white nationalist who threatened them in the past, but Rabbi Mo thinks the troubled teen may be innocent. With no one else willing to investigate, Rabbi Mo becomes the detective, and as the bodies pile up, he must learn how to use a gun in order to battle the real enemy. At the heart of the film is the unexpected bond between the rabbi and an antisemite, as well as Mo’s looming fear that he won’t pull the trigger if he has to… and that he will.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: To kick off the festival we have this fun whodunnit, sort of like a Jewish ”Father Brown” mystery. It breaks the stereotype of Jews being defeneless victims. Pure entertainment.
