Is Unorthodox a true story? How Deborah Feldman's book inspired the Netflix drama series
Netflix's latest offering Unorthodox has introduced viewers to Esther "Esty" Shapiro (Shira Haas), a young woman who rejects her Hasidic upbringing to start a new life in Berlin.
Throughout the four episodes, Esty is seen struggling with what is expected of her in the ultra-orthodox community before she flees her arranged marriage with the Hasidic community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for a new life.
The highly emotive drama is inspired by bestselling memoir Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman, which many question the veracity of.
