Menachem, a religious widower and former front-man of a popular rock band, finds himself struggling to pay for medical treatments for his six-year-old daughter. There is good money to be made playing traditional weddings, so he enlists his former bandmates (and former best friends) to reunite so that he can earn more money. What follows is a moving story of faith and fatherhood, enduring friendship, and coming to terms with the past. Redemption features wonderful musical performances and a strong cast, including a stellar performance by lead actor Moshe Folkenflik.
