Threat of the faithful

Description

The political landscape in Israel is being increasingly shaped by Orthodox Jews, but they are also changing social and cultural life in Israel. This program offers extraordinary access to secretive religious parties and documents their attempts to convert secular Jews to orthodox ways. Their techniques are similar to those used by other religious fundamentalist groups, like Hamas. Will their followers succeed in making Israel a fundamentalist state as well?
