This documentary follows the lives of seven women in New York and New Jersey who are trying to reconcile their alternative sexuality with their commitment to Orthodox Judaism. Their faith has always condemned homosexuality in the harshest terms. Find out how Chani, Pam, Elissa, Hayley, Lina and "Miriam" have dealt with being "unacceptable," while still remaining devoted to their strict faith and community. Screening will be followed by Q+A with stars of the film
Directed by Diana Neille and Sana Gulzar
