* '''Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon''' grew up in an Orthodox Jewish household in Brookline, MA. When he was 13 years old, Eliyahu’s family moved to Israel, where he lived until he was 19. In lieu of joining the Israel Defense Forces, Eliyahu decided to enroll in medical school in the United Kingdom. Three years into his MD degree, he broke his Jewish mother’s heart and decided to abandon Medicine and follow his dream of becoming a filmmaker. He has since earned two degrees from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. ''Cut: Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision'' is his first feature-length film. Eliyahu is currently putting the finishing touches on his second feature-length film, a documentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, called ''A People Without a Land''. Los Angeles, California, USA.
