Guns & Moses | Official Teaser | Mark Feuerstein | Neal McDonough | Christopher Lloyd
Guns & Moses director Sal Litvak highlighted the importance of his new film’s theatrical release, noting the rise of antisemitism and hate against people of faith.
The film is an action thriller that details the journey of a Hasidic rabbi who learns how to use a gun in order to defend his community after it is violently attacked. Litvak told the Washington Examiner that Guns & Moses was inspired by recent attacks against Jewish people and their communities, specifically the 2019 Chabad of Poway shooting in California and the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel.
Litvak said his hope is that Guns & Moses will inspire resilience and action against hate.
“People with guns should have a lot of training and know how to use them,” Litvak said. “It is very difficult to shoot straight and safely and accurately and defend yourself and your community under pressure when an emergency is actually happening. Just owning a gun is not enough. People who have guns really need to practice and have proper training.”
Litvak told the Washington Examiner that his mother and grandmother were Holocaust survivors from Hungary. He recounted how they warned him that a similar hate-filled saga of violence could happen again anywhere, including America.
