=Clandestine meetings, community, defiance.=

While LGBT equality and protection are now enshrined in Israeli law, the leaders of Orthodox Judaism are adamant that the only answer to homosexuality is self-repression. Many Orthodox Jewish women who love other women have tried to follow the rules, but some have begun to organise secretly and fight for recognition

--A fascinating documentary on repression and expression.
