But the production crew also experienced Paris’ darker side while making the film, which has been viewed 55,000 times since being posted on YouTube on March 16.
“We spent a week in Paris and people there are scared,” producer Daniel Finkelman told the news site collive.com. “I saw with my own eyes as Muslims walked by, pointed their hands like guns at us and called out ‘Jew, Jew!’ in French. It felt like Europe in the 1930s.”
Still, Finkelman said this only adds urgency to the message that led to the video’s creation in the first place.
“We want the Jewish community of Paris to know: The world cares about you. We are here for you and we are not going to leave you,” he said.
