We Burn Like This

Producer

When 22-year-old Rae, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is targeted by Neo-Nazis in Billings, Montana, her ancestors' trauma becomes real. As antisemitism continues to rise in the community, we follow Rae on her journey to forgive herself, her mother, and the broken world.

“Whether it’s (Madeleine) Coghlan descending to her breaking point or (Devery) Jacobs finding the calm to explain facts that shouldn’t need to be explained, these are lived-in characters tapping into an authentic duality that comes with being American in a way that doesn’t erase your ethnicity or ancestors.”
