Without saying anything to anyone, a young American Orthodox Jewish woman leaves her husband and her community to find her own path as far as possible.
Who would know that religion can liberate as much as it can oppress? Well, everyone did! Yet, here we are. Proudly marching through the 21st century, forcing people to abide by what, potentially, non-existing people, over two thousand years ago, claimed, dictated, established, and legislated in God’s name.
Because what a sin it is to want to make your own mistakes in life. To see the world for what it really is. To regret things you’ve done but also things you haven’t. I mean, what a disgrace to like someone of the same sex. To be of a different colour or simply have different beliefs that you haven’t imposed on anyone. Because it is an anomaly to consider “your people”, the people who have your back in life and choose to be there for and with you, accepting you for the person you really are.
Esty’s story is heart-wrenching. It will make you doubt, rethink, and/or reevaluate your decisions, choices, fears and insecurities, and freedom. A huge BRAVO to Netflix for creating this mini-series. A huge BRAVO to all cast and crew for working so hard to such detail, especially to Deborah Feldman and Maria Schrader. And a huge BRAVO to Shira Haas, whose gripping performance shocked us to the core.
Wake up, chase, and materialise your own dreams. No one else will do it for you coz no one else can. This is Esty’s story. The everyday heroine who developed the most amazing superpower: the ability to become who she always wanted to be.
