A year in Israel is a rite of passage for American modern Orthodox Jewish teenagers. Nearly all high school graduates, both religious and
non-religious, embark on this journey of spiritual renewal. Anna Wexler and Nadja Oertelt set out to follow a new generation of young Jews as they spend
their year in Israel. In addition to footage shot in the US and in Israel, narration throughout the film weaves Anna's own story with that of the three subjects. Unorthodox is a film
that not only documents the unique year in Israel among the Jewish population, but also represents a more universal narrative--the story
of anyone who has ever truly confronted her most deeply rooted beliefs.
