93Queen screening
2019-Jul-07 @ 19:00 - 20:25
The Dryden will screen 93Queen (Paula Eiselt, USA 2018, 85 min., English, Yiddish, Hebrew w/ subtitles) as part of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival.
Set in the Hasidic enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn, 93Queen follows Rachel "Ruchie" Freier, a no-nonsense Hasidic lawyer and mother of six who is determined to shake up the boys club in her community by creating Ezras Nashim, the first all-female ambulance corps in NYC. With unprecedented and insider access, 93Queen offers up a unique portrayal of a group of empowered women who are taking matters into their own hands to change their own community from within.
