Jewish Happiness (Season 1)

Jewish Happiness (2016) is a Russian documentary travel series — watch online on iFILM. Vladimir Pozner and Ivan Urgant take their road-trip format to Israel, the third country after France and the United States.

The approach is the same: skip the postcards, talk to actual people. Rabbis, secular Israelis, settlers, ordinary residents of a country that has been in dispute with itself for decades. Pozner asks the hard questions; Urgant keeps things from getting too heavy. What carries it is the chemistry between two very different personalities trying to understand a very complicated place.
