Starring Michael Smiley (Kill List, The Lobster) and is executive-produced by the BAFTA-nominated Stephen Graham, Orthodox is a gritty story of redemption and human survival, where fighting for freedom comes at a painfully high cost. Also starring Michael Smiley, Rebecca Callard and Christopher Fairbanks., the film played to strong reviews at the 19th UK Jewish Film Festival late last year.

When a young orthodox Jewish boy, Benjamin (played as an adult by Stephen Graham, This is England, Boardwalk Empire), takes up boxing for self-defence after years of bullying over his faith. Developing a passion for the sport, Benjamin begins to become alienated from his devoutly religious community, and experiences a spiralling of events that leads to him landing in prison.

Upon his release years later, Benjamin is desperate to start afresh and provide for the ones he loves. However, it isn€™t long before his previous involvement with a tangled web of criminal activity catches up with him and threatens to destroy his new way of life.
