“ORTHODOXED”
Orthodoxed is a documentary about a young Jewish man named Berel Solomon. It chronicles his journey from a drug dealer and prince of the nightclub business to becoming a Lubavitcher chassid. The inspiration for this documentary comes from Berel's intense desire to spread the light of Torah in the world. As well as to combat the negative barrage of Netflix videos against the Orthodox Jewish community.
