Strictly Jewish (2016)

For over a year, cameras gained unprecedented access to the Adass Israel community in Australia, the country's most ultra-Orthodox Jewish group, as they navigate modern life while upholding their ancient faith. Despite avoiding television and modern distractions, the community agreed to be filmed for the first time. However, not all members supported the project, believing exposure to the outside world threatens their deeply religious way of life centered on piety and prayer. Told through the perspectives of Raizel Fogel, Shlomo Abelesz, and Rabbi Aryeh Goldman, *Strictly Jewish* offers a revealing look inside this tightly-knit sect, showcasing a community rooted in ancient traditions and a faith spanning over 5000 years.
