(Jewish Group) Documentary airing on PBS explores recent spread of anti-Semitism

Mass murders, vandalism, social media abuse, propaganda, assault – by virtually every yardstick, antisemitism in the U.S. and Europe is rising and worsening in ways not seen since the 1930s.

Like a virus, it mutates and evolves across cultures, borders and ideologies, making it all but impossible to stop. Emmy-award winning filmmaker Andrew Goldberg explores its infectious behavior in his film “Viral: Antisemitism in Four Mutations,” premiering Tuesday, May 26, at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

Written, produced and directed by Goldberg, the 90-minute documentary – which had a short theatrical release earlier this year including in the Tampa Bay area – visits four countries to speak firsthand with victims, witnesses and anti-Semites.

Interviewees include: Former US President Bill Clinton, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Journalists Fareed Zakaria and George Will, and Professor Deborah Lipstadt. The film is narrated in part by Julianna Margulies.
