YOU WILL NOT REPLACE US: NOVAC | You Will Not Replace Us (novacvideo.org)
The documentary drama addresses the shared tribulations and historical unity between Black and Jewish Americans.
You Will Not Replace Us is co-directed by two filmmakers, one Black (Luke Harris) and one Jewish (Josh Greene), giving the film diverse perspectives. Luke and Josh met at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. Their friendship grew over their shared storytelling sensibilities and interests. Both Luke and Josh have made films addressing racism and antisemitism within their respective communities, but this is the first time they are directly working together, to create a film that confronts both forms of hatred.
Through their film, they embody a meta-narrative, bringing together their distinct backgrounds and curiosities to challenge stereotypes and foster dialogue. As directors, they weave together personal anecdotes, cultural insights, and shared aspirations, inviting audiences to confront prejudices and embrace the power of solidarity in the face of adversity.
