The Unorthodox is a 2018 Israeli film depicting the establishment of the Shas political party. The protagonist, Yaakov Cohen (Shuli Rand), is driven to form a religious political party representing the interests of Sephardic Jews. The incident that drives Cohen is the expulsion of his daughter Heli (Or Lumbrozo) from a Bais Yaakov school, owing to her Sephardic background.[1][2][3]
