dave d '93 Queen' is a documentary feature that focuses on Rachel "Ruchie" Freier, a no-nonsense Hasidic lawyer and mother of six who has her hopes set on starting an all-female Hasidic EMT group. Freier is a polarizing figure who has both inspiring and unlikeable qualities. One thing is clear she wants power and she'll do whatever it takes to get there. In the cut throat world of EMTs, only the strong survive! Hubby: 6.9/Wife: 7.7 Average: 7.3/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting and candid look at women in this community where, indeed, "feminism" does not exactly apply in that Chasidism has a concept of womanhood as separate but equal, with clearly defined strengths, roles and identity. There was a plot to this documentary -- in the creation of a new kind of organization, the roles and relationships among the people involved, resistence from many in the community, work, the trials and triumphs and the glass ceiling broken by the dynamic leader. I found it hard not to get annoyed by her confidence and the way the female-EMS idea's originator somehow ended up hurt. Being a product of the '60s who later learned some orthodoxy, I'm not sure how one can wear a gorgeous wig and show (off) one's great figure and still be modest, or when one is hiding one's light under a bushel. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent movie. The documentarians provided information and didn’t lean in the direction of the Orthodox women and against their male counterparts.
