93Queen

93Queen is set in the Hasidic enclave of Borough Park, Brooklyn, where EMS corps have long been the province 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. This engaging documentary follows a group of tenacious Hasidic women who are smashing the patriarchy in their community by creating Ezras Nashim, the first all-female volunteer ambulance corps in New York City. With unprecedented — and insider — access, this film follows the formation and launch of Ezras Nashim through the organization’s first year on the ground.  It offers up a unique portrayal of empowered women who are taking matters into their own hands to change their own community from within.
