What Makes a Hero?

What Makes a Hero?” is a rough cut of a promotional video I produced for UJC’s Jewish Community Heroes awards in 2009. It wasn’t used during the campaign, but I am happy to release this long form version of the video, which features interviews with about 25 people on the streets of New York City and Brooklyn. The video was recently presented at the Limmud NY 2010 Conference.
Produced and directed by Jewish Robot, interviews conducted by Paul Berger, shot and edited by Simon Weaver.

    From the pic you show I guess a hero is a Jewish guy with a fairly good-looking shiksa.
    At the end of the video they both say they’re not Jewish.

    Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to guess who is and isn’t a Jew by simply glancing at them.
