In 1998, 1 million ecstasy pills were smuggled into the USA by a group of Hasidic Jews.

CrimeDrama

Inspired by actual events in the late nineties when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States.

VIBE

A stark look at a community's underbelly. The film feels claustrophobic and morally complex, exploring the dangerous allure of quick money within a strict religious framework. It's a tense, character-driven descent.
