Blind Spot, a modern-day civil rights story which began production more than a year before October 7, is the first film to document both the antisemitism that existed on American campuses then and how it led to the explosion of virulent and often violent campus antisemitism after October 7.
Told in the inspiring words and voices of more than two dozen students who’ve experienced and fought against this hatred on the front lines at more than a dozen schools across America, Blind Spot bears witness to their bravery in the face of extreme hostility, indifference, and efforts to silence them and erase their Jewish identity while too many school administrators fail to take action.
Joining the students in the film are more than two dozen professionals, including leading activist lawyers, elected officials from both parties, faculty, campus Chabad and Hillel directors and other Jewish community leaders, college administrators, and journalists/authors, who express their views and prescriptions for change.
Blind Spot thus offers an in-depth look at a national problem that has been building for years.
Featuring a score which includes the music of Louis Armstrong, Dr. Seuss, world-famous Israeli cantors (and father-and-son) Naftali and Netanel Hershtik, Eden Golan, and a cast that includes people who represent a multiplicity of races, ethnicities, and backgrounds (both Jewish and non-Jewish), Blind Spot tells an important, timely American Jewish story in a uniquely and sometimes surprising American and Jewish way.
Blind Spot was produced by Executive Producer Leonard Gold and Ironbound Films (Heading Home and Israel Swings for Gold).
