Tracing Generations is Ben Cook’s deep-dive into the political environment that so often rips his family, and many Jewish families, apart; the country of Israel. This short, freeform documentary interviews two of Ben’s family members and weighs their beliefs on Israel today, which is under scrutiny from the international community for its treatment of Palestinians, but that some Jews still see as the only option to keeping their people safe. This divide has been creating a rift in the Jewish people that worries Ben, who brings in his own perspective ain regards to the movement he is currently witnessing.
