My Father My Lord (Hofshat Kaits)

This powerful and heartbreaking film takes a look at the price that may be exacted by a rigid observation of religious tenets. Its central character, a respected rabbi in an ultra-Orthodox community—who is also a father and husband—s forced to come to terms with the demands of his faith and the welfare of his own family. Tribeca Film Festival: winner of the 2007 Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature.
