Eshet Hail plot

There are 600,000 Haredi women ('ultra-Orthodox' women) living in Israel. They can vote, but cannot be elected. Esty Shushan is the founder of Nivcharot, Israel's only feminist Haredi organization. What started as the Facebook group 'No Voice – No Vote!' has become a force of significance within ultra-Orthodox circles. The film follows the campaign of Shushan and her fellow activist Estee Rieder Indurski. From the corridors of the Supreme Court to Parliament, they face hostile and condescending opposition from conservative men.
