Sister Wife

Sister Wife

Tsiporra Bat Israel is a member of the Black Hebrew Community of Dimona. After twenty-one years of marriage she wakes up one morning to learn that her husband, Hazriel, is marrying a second wife, fourteen years her junior, as part of the polygamy tradition of the Black Hebrews. This is a film by women about women who live in an unusual community, yet at the same time it reflects the experiences shared by women everywhere.
