Synopsis
In the 2013 documentary "Superjews" director Nirit Peled sheds light on the supporters of the Dutch association football club AFC Ajax, who have often referred to themselves as super Jews. What makes the documentary unique however, is that she offers the perspective of both the supporters, as well as her own personal perspective as an Israeli immigrant living in Amsterdam searching to find her own identity.[4]
Nirit Peled herself is the narrator of the documentary, which follows her into the world of Ajax, as well as back to Israel in search of her own Jewish identity, and sometimes critical view of Israel.[5] The film is built around personal, mostly intimate and often revealing interviews, in which Peled as also in front of the camera amongst recordings from the Ajax home-stadium, the Amsterdam ArenA, archival footage from Ajax-supporters from before the 2nd World War, and unique footage of Ajax supporters visiting Israel in attendance of an away match against Maccabi Tel Aviv.[6]
In the documentary Nirit speaks with the likes of Jeroen and Diana, hardcore Ajax-supporters, Ronald, one of the founders of F-side and creator of the fanzine De Davidster (The Star of David); longtime Ajax-archivist Mr. Schoevaart, former Ajax-chairman Uri Coronel; 11 year old Ajax-fan Jodi and his single mother; Mrs. Visser, Holocaust survivor and resident of the Jewish retirement home Beth Shalom in Amstelveen; Salo Muller,former Jewish masseuse of Ajax; and Avi the owner of CaféTraffic.[7]
As an obvious Football outsider Peled offers a very personal view into the game, the lore of Ajax and its relation to Judaism.[8]
