"Sabbath Queen" (USA, 2024), a documentary film shot over 21 years, follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie on his epic journey as heir to 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and accepting his destiny and becomes a rebellious drag queen, a queer biological father, and the founder of Lab/Shul – an open, God-independent, artist-driven, experimental pop-up community.
"Sabbath Queen", directed and produced by Sandi DuBowski, follows Amichai on his lifelong quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual, to question patriarchy and supremacy, to promote interfaith love, and to advocate for peace and a ceasefire in Israel/Palestine.
