‘93Queen’ Debuts Online

(Courtesy of Cargo Films) ‘93Queen,’ the critically acclaimed documentary about a group of rule-breaking women in an Ultra Orthodox Jewish community, debuted on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play and DVD on September 6.

‘93Queen’ is a story about women’s empowerment in a neighborhood where you’d least expect to find it.

Set in the chasidic enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn, ‘93Queen’ follows Ruchie Freier, a no-nonsense chasidic lawyer, and mother of six, who is determined to shake up the patriarchy in her chasidic community by creating the first all-female ambulance corps in the United States.

In Borough Park, ambulance corps has long been the providence of men. Though the neighborhood is home to the largest volunteer ambulance corps in the world known as Hatzolah, that organization has steadfastly banned women from its ranks. Now Freier and an engaging cast of dogged chasidic women are risking their reputations—and, literally, the futures of their children—by taking matters into their own hands to provide dignified emergency medical care to the chasidic women and girls of Borough Park.
