The Story
“You'll kvell. Forget Supergirl and Wonder Woman: to see a real female superhero in action, check out this all-female, Hasidic EMT corps.” — The Hollywood Reporter
Set in the Hasidic enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn, 93Queen follows Ruchie Freier, a diminutive, no-nonsense Hasidic lawyer and mother of six who is determined to provide dignified Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to the women of her neighbourhood. With unprecedented—and insider—access, this uplifting documentary offers up a unique portrayal of a diverse group of tenacious Hasidic women who are taking matters into their own hands to change their community from within.
