How religious dogma can appear under any situation
A heartbreaking documentary following three ex-Hasidic Jews, who are attempting to fight fanaticism within the ultra-orthodox community. From ex-communication, to rape, abuse, and kangaroo justice, the film shows how a wall of secrecy allows discrimination and zealotry to thrive.

In one story, a woman with seven children, who was abused by her husband and even at one point was run down whilst on her bicycle, because she tried to get a divorce through the court system. It's grim to say the least. Another young adult describes being raped as a child by a teacher, who was allowed to continue to work despite the claims.

The documentary is truly shocking and shows that extremism is reactive and can breed under any society and circumstance.

I'm a big fan of some of the Netflix documentaries, they're rather outstanding just because the content is very different.

What a great thriller debut book for Holly Jackson. I was engrossed from the start to the end with helping Pippa and Ravi find the real killer of Andie Bell. There were so many twist and turns I felt like I was watching a documentary on how solving a real murder case might go. I was invested in the characters as well as the writing was on point.What a great thriller debut book for Holly Jackson.

This new documentary which has been in cinemas and last night was shown on the centenary of the end of the war, takes never-before-seen footage from World War I and brings it to the screen in an emotional way to commemorate the centennial of the end of the war.

They Shall Not Grow Old starts with the old footage from the 1910’s in a small screen format that slowly gets bigger on the screen, the footage is raw, untouched, and shows a time that has long since passed. What makes this documentary so distinctive is that the commentary, throughout the film, is from the veterans from World War I, taken from the many archives to give us an emotional connection to those that survived the horrors of the war.
