Plots(1)

In Israel all divorces depend on the Jewish Rabbinical Court which stipulates that married women cannot get a divorce without the consent of their husband. Tamara, Michelle and Rachel, three young Israeli women have been struggling for years to obtain legal divorces with the help of a group of passionate and dedicated female advocates. Anat Zuria tracks these three women’s desperate battle for freedom over a period of two years. (DOK.fest München)
