The Moon is Jewish

This stunning documentary about a Polish soccer hooligan who converts to Orthodox Judaism will rattle and move you. Raised Catholic in a bleak Warsaw housing project, Pawel used to get his kicks beating up “Jews, Blacks, Roms . . . and the homeless” with other fans of the Legia soccer club. After his wife makes a shocking discovery regarding her husband’s ancestry, Pawel undergoes a gradual but radical metamorphosis. This movie traces Pawel’s stunning transformation and offers a poignant reminder that, at its essence, religion is about learning to live a moral and good life.
