Luzer Twersky, star of the recent Yiddish world premiere of Eugene Ionesco's RHINOCEROS, is the subject of the new film documentary ONE OF US, which is set to debut tomorrow (Friday) exclusively on Netflix. Produced and directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (JESUS CAMP, DETROPIA), ONE OF US chronicles Luzer's break from the insular world of New York's ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community, despite threats of retaliation and the necessity of cutting all ties with his family.
In 2008, Luzer made his painful break from the Hasidic community at age 23 in order to pursue an acting career. He landed his breakout role as the oppressive patriarch Shulem in the 2014 Canadian drama FÉLIX & MEIRA. Prior to his starring role in RHINOCEROS, he appeared in New Yiddish Rep's hit production of GOD OF VENGEANCE. New Yiddish Rep, along with Artistic Director David Mandelbaum, are also featured in ONE OF US. For more information, visit www.netflix.com/title/80118101.Videos
