In Israel, hundreds of women like Sarah, Noa, and Oshrat remain trapped in marriages, denied divorce for years by their husbands and the rabbinic courts.
Their freedom hinges on outdated laws and patriarchal traditions. Batya Kahana Dror, a religious yet defiant lawyer, challenges the Orthodox Jewish courts, believing that laws must evolve with modern times.
Fighting tirelessly for these women’s rights, Batya becomes a beacon of hope in a system that resists change.
This poignant and inspiring story highlights the intersection of faith, justice, and feminism in a battle for freedom against deeply entrenched traditions.
