Rochel, an Orthodox Jew, and Nasira, a Muslim, are young teachers at a Brooklyn public school. Each is going through the process of getting arranged marriages. The women overcome societal boundaries to rely on one another and withstand the pressures of maintaining their deep religious and cultural convictions. A touching story of friendship, love, intolerance and prejudice that brings a hopeful message about how two people from seemingly different backgrounds can have so much in common.
This event is generously sponsored by the Roswell Museum and Art Center Foundation. |
