| Summary |
*Coarse Language and Adult Themes*Bitterly, John recalls his adolescence, and a Jewish summer camp at which he was mortifyingly rebuffed by a love interest. Still not over it, dejected John seeks solace again in Henry Makow's book on Asian love. Makow claims that Asian women judge a man by his heart, not by his looks. John is heartened by this tidbit. To check if it's true, he dons an elephant man costume and jets off to Thailand to see if his luck in love will improve outside of Jewtown 3183. A series of dates with unassuming Thai women restores John's confidence. Satisfied that through Asian eyes, he is better regarded than by those of whites, joyful John goes home, only to be called a self-hating Jew by his friend Jeremy. Shocked by the accusation, John does some reading. He discovers that self-haters sometimes try to change their appearance through cosmetic surgery. This story hits surprisingly close to home. Armed with a lie detector test, John confronts his father Alex Safran about a shady aspect of Alex's past.Sick of the self-hating Jew label, John decides to prove his critics wrong. He decides to retaliate - Simon Wiesenthal Nazi-hunter style - by taking out one of the world's most sinister Holocaust deniers, David Irving. For the attack, John flies to London, where he tricks Irving into meeting him in a small recording studio, which serves as the scene of John's crime.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced and developed by Princess Pictures in association with ABC TV. Executive Producer: Debbie Lee; Producer: Laura Waters; Director: Craig Melville; Writer: Sofija Stefanovic |
