Birthright follows the reunion of six young friends after a Birthright trip to Israel in 2006. Over 18 years, that one reunion becomes exploration of identity, fractured community, and belonging as the friends, together and individually, respond to a changing world and whether reality fits the narratives they've all grown up with.
