An animated film about immigrants who cross borders to be with the ones they love. Screening with 'There Are No Lions in Tel Aviv'.

It’s only a half-hour drive from ultra-Orthodox Bnei Brak to Tel Aviv but for the women traveling to Tel Aviv’s “Kosher Beach,” it’s lightyears away. This gated and secluded strip has dedicated days for segregated swimming for women and men. For the Orthodox women who frequent it, it’s a safe haven from social and family problems—a place where they can just be themselves. So when local rabbis try to shut down the beach, the women are forced to choose: give in to their religious authority or fight for the space they hold sacred.
