It's worthwhile to make a documentary that shines a light on very different groups of people living together so that they understand each other better. However, I'm very disappointed that the root of all problems is not being addressed by the Jewish director of this film.
Hasidic families have on average seven children and this has caused the Hasidic community to explode in Outremont and other neighborhoods of Montreal. As a result they buy more and more real estate in these neighborhoods, pushing out the non-Hasidic community and changing the cultural fabric of these neighborhoods. This causes a lot of friction between the Hasidic community and other communities. Unfortunately this important fact is completely ignored in the film. Not addressing the root of all problems degrades this documentary into a piece of propaganda for the Hasidic cause.
