Leaving the fold

Follows young Hasidic Jews, aged 18-25, in Montreal, New York and Jerusalem, who decide they can no longer live in their ultra-orthodox communities, so they venture into the secular world. To do so they have to turn their backs on their relationships with their parents and their siblings. This is a film about spiritual journeys in the direction away from the certainties and constraints of religious fundamentalism to the uncertainties of personal freedom.

  • ""Tells the story of five young people born and raised within the ultra-Orthodox Jewish world who no longer wish to remain on the inside. As children they grew up in a closed society where deviation from the rules of conduct is often punishable by ostracism, intimidation or worse. As young adults they pay a steep price for abandoning their parents and community to seek the freedom to make their own choices. From the Hasidic enclaves of Montreal, Brooklyn and Jerusalem come stories of conflict, coercion and struggle. Tinged with pain and unexpected humor, "Leaving the Fold" documents the process by which our five heroes emerged from a strictly controlled society into a baffling secular world of endless choices: What should I wear? What shall I become? Who will I marry? Once everything was decided for them. Now they must decide for themselves. But the answers don't always come easily"--Container."
