THE UNORTHODOX is the “barely fictionalized” story of the rise of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, the first political party in Israel to represent the Sephardic and Mizrahi communities. Previously marginalized by the ruling Ashkenazi elite, Shas gave voice to the voiceless in a tale of the power of the people. Nominated for nine Israeli Academy Awards and winner of four, actor Shuli Rand delivers what has been described as a “galvanizing performance”.
