Unchosen : the hidden lives of Hasidic rebels
Synopsis:
While conducting research for her doctoral thesis, Hella Winston spoke with members of the Satmar Hasidic sect in New York and found herself drawn to individuals who struggle with this way of life. Some stay within the community and bend the rules. One attempted to leave altogether but found he was too poorly educated to gain employment. Another created a support network for those not sure where they belong.
