Unorthodox, is the much talked about, four-part mini-series that dropped March 26 on Netflix. This moving and climatic story is about a young woman’s brave decision to break away from her ultra-Orthodox community in Brooklyn to find herself through music in a new country. Unorthodox is inspired by The New York Times best-selling memoire by Deborah Feldman, and stars Israeli actor, Shira Haas, who plays Esther Shapiro, with incredible sensitivity and depth. Known for her intense gaze, poise, and uncompromising performances, Haas guides us through this secretive community to reveal the trials many women struggle with, and her ultimate reclamation of a life full of unrealized dreams.
