The Shunned
Manny Waks, a former student at the Yeshivah College in Melbourne, Australia, breaks a long-standing code of silence within his ultra-Orthodox Jewish community by publicly accusing a security guard of sexually abusing him during his childhood. His courageous decision to speak out triggers a wave of similar revelations from other victims, forcing the community to confront its own history of abuse and cover-ups. As Manny and his father, Zephaniah, navigate the fallout of their public campaign, they face intense backlash and ostracization from the very community they once called home, highlighting the deep-seated tensions between tradition, accountability, and the pursuit of justice.
