MENEMSHA FILMS

Born in 1930s Europe in response to rising fascism, Krav Maga landed in Palestine and ultimately became a uniquely Israeli form of self-defense. As antisemitism surges around the world in the aftermath of October 7, 2023, Jews are increasingly turning to Krav. In the Path of Peace follows students as they learn to defend themselves. Instructors, historians, and experts in Israel and beyond place their stories in a longer history of Jewish survival, and ask what it means to be strong, and what it costs.
