Pulp Fiction Producer Lawrence Bender, Telling Jewish Stories About Oct 7th with Zionist Filmmakers

Описание: Pulp Fiction Producer and Jewish Hollywood filmmaker, Lawrence Bende,r is our guest this week on Being Jewish with Jonah Platt. They discuss Hollywood's Silence on Antisemitism, the new 'Red Alert' Miniseries based on Oct 7th, and Lawrence's incredible relationship working with Quentin Tarantino on 6 films.

Three-time Academy Award-nominated Hollywood producer Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, Inglourious Basterds, An Inconvenient Truth) sits down with host Jonah Platt for a deeply personal discussion about his legendary career, lifelong commitment to social justice filmmaking, and the crushing moment he felt "abandoned" by his peers after the October 7th attacks.

Bender, a Lion of Zion, explains how this moment of "harrowing silence from Hollywood" pushed him down a new, urgent path to produce the compelling new Paramount Plus miniseries, Red Alert, which dramatizes four heroic and horrifying true stories from that terrible day in Israel. The conversation explores his early life in The Bronx, experiences with antisemitism, the responsibility of being a Jewish filmmaker, and the intentional inclusion of stories from an Arab-Israeli family in Red Alert to show the world the reality of Israel.
