The Unorthodox 
A film by Eliran Malka, 2018. When Yakov Cohen's daughter is expelled from school for ethnic reasons, he decides to fight back. It's 1983 and Yakov is just a regular guy. But he has the will and the passion to take action, and a belief that he and other Sephardic Jews should be able to hold their heads up proudly.
