Our Struggle

Filmplakat zu Unser Kampf mit Porträts eines jungen Mannes in Marineuniform vor einer wehenden israelischen Flagge und einer älteren Frau mit Sonnenhut vor Meer und Himmel.

One Family. Three generations. Nine wars.
Our Struggle portrays a family whose grandparents fled to Israel after being expelled from Vienna and Cracow. For 75 years it has struggled to survive in the world's most hated country – as victims and as aggressors.
Through its depiction of the microcosm of one family’s history, the film offers a unique glimpse into the past, present, and future of the State of Israel, a continuum that is closely intertwined with our own past and at the same time reflects the current areas of conflict between the societies, cultures, and religions of the West and the East.
