“Hate Among Us” has been a critically true success as this year’s 47th Daytime Emmy Awards received more than 2,700 submissions.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Popstar! TV’s “Hate Among Us”, a documentary that shines the spotlight on anti-Semitism at present worldwide, has received two nominations for the 47th Daytime Emmy Awards - for Outstanding Special Class Special and Outstanding Directing Special Class. The competition has never been fiercer as this year’s Daytime Emmys received more than 2,700 submissions and was judged by a pool of 1,000 peer professionals from across the TV industry.

"Having the film nominated for an Emmy is a huge honor," states Dean Cain. "It helps us to achieve our ultimate goal, which is to shine a light on hate and help educate people about the history and the current growth of hate and anti-Semitism. We are very excited about this recognition, and hope this brings more awareness to this serious humanitarian crisis."

Directed by David McKenzie, the documentary illustrates how renewed intolerance is taking root in our communities, institutions, and universities, with far reaching consequences around the world and depicts unique perspectives on antisemitism from young and old alike, from Jew and non-Jew. Featuring real stories and accounts from survivors of recent violent acts of anti-Semitism all the way to the Holocaust, the documentary special is co-hosted by Dean Cain and Montel Williams, who have also taken on behind-the-scenes roles as executive producers alongside David, Sergey Sarkisov and Laura McKenzie.

"After the broadcast of our TV Special “Denial”, the response of the community from this inhumanity proves that this topic very important to many people as well as being very relevant," states Sergey Sarkisov. "I do believe that “Hate Among Us” contributes to the proper understanding and empathy that any kind of national, racial or religious hate continues to be an existing danger and every human, including humanity itself, can be a target."

Moved to bring more awareness to the myriad of issues surrounding hate crimes - especially those perpetuated by religion, the producers artfully educate the viewing audience on the history of anti-Semitism, some of the tragic and unspeakable events of recent times including the Charlottesville demonstrations, Pittsburgh's Tree of Life attack, the attack at the Chabad synagogue in San Diego and the pervasive and growing anti-Jewish & anti-Israel BDS movement. “Hate Among Us” was created in memory of Mireille Knoll, a holocaust survivor, loving mother, and grandmother. The film interviews her surviving sons and granddaughters and describes how Mireille survived the Holocaust only to be murdered in 2018 by two radicalized Muslim assailants, stabbing her 11 times before setting her on fire. One of the assailants had known her since he was a child.

“When we set out to make Hate Among Us, we knew it was an urgent project. In these divided times, we have to remember that hate and bigotry are never the answer," states Montel Williams.
