The fifth Hong Kong Jewish Film Festival is dedicated to unsung heroes, both Jews and non-Jews, who risk their lives to help the oppressed.

The festival showcases 21 films and will run from tomorrow until November 28.

Kicking off the extravaganza (tomorrow, 7.30pm) is Zeyda and the Hitman, a comedy about a grumpy old man who hires a hitman to kill his son-in-law.

Another highlight is Unlikely Heroes (Sunday, 1pm), a documentary about ordinary people who stood up to the Nazis during the Holocaust. Impact of Terror (Sunday, 3.30pm) consists of interviews with the survivors and the families of those who died in a bomb attack in Jerusalem three years ago.
