Overview
A Hasidic True Crime Story. An astounding 300.000 people attended the funeral of Rabbi Schik - an admired American ultra-Orthodox Rabbi. Unbeknownst to his followers, Rabbi Schik was also the leader of a transatlantic crime organization which established an extreme and segregated cult spanning between Brooklyn and Israel. While female members were forced into underage marriages and sustained sexual assaults, the money was flowing into the Rabbi’s own pockets. This corrupt culture prevailed for decades, with no one ever daring to expose the painful truth – until now.
