Thursday, April 24 at 7pm
Join Eshel at the Rockland County Jewish Film Festival for a screening of the new Israeli Film Pink Lady, followed by a talkback with Ely Winkler, Eshel’s Director of Advancement. Pink Lady tackles the complex intersection of Orthodox Jewish life, community pressures, and LGBTQ+ identity in a simultaneously moving and humorous way. After the screening, Ely will share more about the experiences of being LGBTQ+ and Orthodox, and how Eshel is working to create Orthodox communities where we all feel we belong.
About the Film:
In an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem, Bati has a seemingly perfect life. She is happily married to Lazer and the young couple have three children. But their world starts to crumble when Lazer is blackmailed and Bati discovers his secret affair with his male study partner. Desperate to protect her family and keep the man she loves, she supports Lazer as he attempts to “cure” his homosexuality, whilst uncovering her true desires.
