SABBATH QUEEN follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, on his epic journey as he tries to reconcile identities as drag-queen and spiritual leader. It is an extraordinary story of one man’s quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual, challenge patriarchy and supremacy, champion interfaith love, and stand up for peace. Director Sandi DuBowski (TREMBLING BEFORE GOD) will be in attendance along with Lab/Shul Co-founder Shira Klne for a post-film Q&A. SABBATH originally premiered at Tribeca where it was nominated for Best Documentary.
