This stunning film illuminates the historic alliance between American Jews and African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement and its effects on the continued struggle for equality today. In the face of a troubling increase in anti-Semitic rhetoric and actions, One Struggle is an urgent, timely, and compelling film that demands to be seen. Through interviews with key figures from the Civil Rights Era and contemporary activists who march on today, the film sheds light on the intricate relationship between African Americans and Jewish Americans in the United States, showcasing their ability to unite in the face of adversity. During the Civil Rights Movement, individuals such as Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington, Franz Boas and Zora Neale Hurston, Abel Meerapol and Billie Holiday, and Abraham Joshua Heschel and Martin Luther King, Jr. recognized the common enemy of segregation and anti-Semitism. Together, they demonstrated the power of empathy, cooperation, and solidarity in their fight against these shared evils.
