Movie Haiku:Searing Part 3 of a trilogy in which a woman from a large Moroccan-Israeli family must literally beg a Rabbinical Court to grant her a divorce--called a gett--from an over-bearing, oppressive, unyielding husband. Brutal indictment of the Israeli government which still allows Rabbis to wield so much patriarchal power in the 21st Century. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
