“Somehow or other I have spent my entire life in the field of interreligious dialogue…Therefore, watching "Tango Shalom" was also a serious reflection for me. The film enlightened me.”

Catholic Archbishop Felix Anthony Machado

"In these times when divisions make us suffer more and more, how refreshing it is to find a film that bets on bringing together protagonists that we too often oppose! A necessary film to break down prejudices and an excellent medicine for the soul."

Dominique Rankin
Algonquin Anishinabe Hereditary Chief, Canada

“What I enjoyed most about ‘Tango Shalom’ is how it demonstrates the importance of forming relationships across differences, learning about the values of other religions, and breaking down walls that often exist between us. It is a beautiful story of interfaith friendship, a story we need to hear now more than ever.”

Palestinian Bishop Dr. Munib Younan, Jerusalem &
Bishop Emeritus of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land

“We need reminding that Islam, Christianity, and Judaism share more than values—we believe that God spoke through the same people. The similarities do not stop there, and I appreciated that the film made an effort to show this.”

Imam Ani Zonneveld
Muslims for Progressive Values

"There are several dimensions at play in this joyful, music-filled movie. Starting from the profound distance normally associated with religious differences, Tango Shalom moves into the creative possibilities of gaining mutual respect, discovering common humanity and working/dancing together. I heartily endorse Tango Shalom."

The Rt. Rev. William E. Swing, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California (Ret.)
Founder and President of United Religions Initiative

“Tango Shalom tells the story of one man’s search for a solution to a problem without abandoning his religious principles…In the end the story demonstrates that a balance is needed, and with flexibility we can preserve what is meaningful in our traditions while meeting today’s needs.”

Dena Merriam
Founder & Convener, The Global Peace Initiative of Women

“…TANGO SHALOM is comedic, but it also inspires serious reflection on how followers of different religions can remain faithful to their respective beliefs and practices even while being accepting and respectful of each other's differences, and engaging in harmonious relationships with one another.”

"…”Tango Shalom” teaches us otherwise, about celebrating differences, finding riches, joy and building friendship among different people. It is indeed necessary for everyone today to contribute to the rebuilding of the present world into a home for all, where joy and peace is enlivened.”

Rev. Dr. Margaretha Ririmasse (Emeritus)
Protestant Church Moluccas, Indonesia
Interfaith Activist & Advisory Board, Molucccan Ambassadors for Peace

“TANGO SHALOM STANDS OUT as a groundbreaking endeavor! It is a warm-hearted film that changes the landscape of an entire genre. This film moved me to become more reflective and appreciative of the relevance of a Torah-observant lifestyle and Judaism’s capacity to embrace our ever-changing modern world.”

Orthodox Rabbi Shalom Rubanowitz
Pacific Jewish Center (PJC)

“…There are not so many movies that have a faith element to them, and those that do are often sponsored by a particular religious group... Tango Shalom is nothing like that at all and while focused on the story of an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, features diverse religious representations that depict each of these faiths in a warm and friendly way.”

Shaykh Paul Salahuddin Armstrong
The Association of British Muslims

"…The film leaves its viewers with a respect for tradition as well as a sense of the interreligious openness central to healthy life in our contemporary pluralistic society. It shows how we today can embrace an interreligious outlook without sacrificing our most cherished values.”

“Tango Shalom is a wonderfully warm and positive comedy which has a strong message of interfaith and a multi-cultural connection. One can’t help but to laugh with the practical approaches offered by faiths to solve age old conflicts of modesty.”

Steve Killelea, AM
Nobel Prize® nominee, Australian IT entrepreneur and Founder and Executive Chairman, Institute for Economics and Peace, a global think tank.

“…Tango Shalom is truly one of the most interesting, delightful and fun films I’ve seen in a long time. How wonderful it is, as one who serves the Lord Jesus, to be able to say this is a film you must see, one I can recommend without any reservation.

When Tango Shalom comes to your area, RUN, don’t walk to see it!”

Chaplain Susan Stafford, PhD

“Beautifully and strongly, Tango Shalom shows us how openness to interfaith wisdom can help in preventing a narrow understanding of religion to become an obstacle in life; rather it helps to overcome spiritual crisis in an inclusive and joyful way.”

Fadi Daou PhD, Cofounder & Senior Advisor
Foundation for Diversity, Solidarity and Human Dignity, Beirut, Lebanon

"Tango Shalom is unlike any other film that I have come across, simply because of the wonderfully creative blend of humour and honour that is woven into a narrative of interfaith learning and support for a cause...”

Sohini Jana
Director, Jammu and Kashmir Policy Institute

“...Tango Shalom is a timely and extremely welcome example of what those of us who work in interfaith relations see on a daily basis: people of all religions coming together despite their differences to support each other in times of need. What better way to learn than through laughter, dancing, and entertainment – highly recommend!”

Professor Mark Owen
Director, Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace
University of Winchester
Secretary General, European Council of Religious Leaders

“Tango Shalom is a funny and heartwarming film about inter-faith dialogue that urges us to seek answers everywhere including outside our own religious traditions. It is sure to make the viewers laugh out loud many times, but also at its core is a thought-provoking examination of what it means to be a believer and human in modern-day society…”

Zilka Spahić Šiljak, PhD

“It is refreshing to see the lived reality of faiths presented in film and Tango Shalom does this with charm, humour and genuine warmth.”

The Reverend Dr. Richard Sudworth

"Through its lighthearted and humorous storytelling, Tango Shalom offers a warm look into the power of mutual understanding and the ability of interfaith cooperation to bring people together. A delight to watch."
