Plot Description: The Goldstein family of Philadelphia was upended when older brother Louis decided to embrace Jewish Orthodoxy and move to Israel during the Vietnam War. Betrayed and bewildered, younger brother Douglas built his life as an advocate for peace. More than two decades later, Louis is a retired officer of the Israeli Army and Douglas is a senior director with Amnesty International. Divided by deep familial wounds and opposing religious and political beliefs, the brothers are forced to re-engage when their respective sons make surprising life decisions of their own. HOUSE, DIVIDED is a timely and challenging exploration of faith, family and politics – and our collective failure to consider other points of view.
