Taiki Waititi’s 2019 classic "JoJo Rabbit" is a "dramedy" that follows young JoJo, a German Nazi youth, and his struggle to overcome nationalism, a physical disability, and grief. Jojo becomes physically disabled at a Nazi youth camp, and is banished to his home, only to find his mother has been hiding a young Jewish girl in the walls. Jojo, along with his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler, is left to grapple with what love means, how one creates and forms their identity, what they do when that identity is shattered, how to overcome grief, and adapt to new life. JoJo Rabbit touches on themes of social justice, ethnic identity and politics, family dynamics, disability, trauma, war, and identity.

Counselors can use this film to help individuals who struggle with identity by helping to demonstrate the ways in which identity can be fluid and how we can work to release thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that are no longer helpful. Counselors additionally can use this film with those experiencing grief, as it demonstrates different forms of grief, and can help to exemplify the complexity of grief, and how we move forward when facing loss. The movie closes with a quote that reads " Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final". This film perfectly encapsulates this quote, demonstrating the ways in which we both endure and bounce back, and can be used by clinicians in helping clients to experience the fullness of emotion and foster resilience.
