One of us explores the opaque world of Hasidic Judaism by having a cadre of amazing heroes. Through unique and personal access in the span of 3 years, acclaimed observational filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady explore the lives of three courageous those who have recently made a decision to leave the insular ultra-orthodox community at the trouble of most else, including human relationships with their members of the family and–in one case–their personal basic safety. With a hypersensitive and compassionate eyeball, One of Us chronicles the achingly cinematic trip of individuals searching for a personal flexibility that comes only at an extremely high cost. This is sophisticated and frequently explosive subject material, and in analyzing it, the wonderful team of Ewing and Grady tread as carefully as they can, given the constraints they’re under.
What are the social norms?
This documentary treads through social norms and what is considered acceptable in society and how different societies work.
