February Spotlight
Unholy
Directed by Daisy Friedman | Drama | 13 min
February is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month (JDAIM), and our Spotlight Short is UNHOLY.
Noa attends her family’s Passover Seder for the first time since being put on a feeding tube for a gastrointestinal disorder. There, she is confronted with pushy family members, malfunctioning medical devices, and a room of food she can’t eat.
Director Daisy Friedman's history as a multi-organ transplant recipient informed this film, which premiered at Sundance 2025 and was featured at ReelAbilities and Three Rivers Film Festival 2025.
