93Queen (2018)
Set in the Hasidic enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn, 93Queen follows a group of tenacious Hasidic women who are challenging their patriarchal community by creating the first all-female volunteer ambulance corps in New York City. With unprecedented and insider access, 93Queen presents a unique look at a group of religious women who are taking matters into their own hands to change their own community from within.
