Trending Israeli-made drama series “Unchained” has been picked up for exclusive distribution in Australia by state-backed cultural platform Special Broadcasting Service (Sbs).
The series delves into the clash between religious tradition and the modern world, in particular the area of divorce. Many Orthodox Jewish women experience difficulties when they are denied a Jewish divorce by their estranged husbands.
The show stars Aviv Alush (“Beauty And The Baker”) as a rabbi tasked with acting as both detective and psychologist for women whose husbands either refuse to divorce them or have disappeared. The rabbi will go to any lengths to get justice and free the women from the prison of an unwanted relationship. However, his world begins to crumble when he realizes that his own wife is going through a crisis of faith, and feels trapped by the strict rules of Jewish orthodoxy.
