# In Satmar Custody (2003)

2003 · Documentary · Israel


## Synopsis

In Satmar Custody is a 2003 documentary of the Jaradis, a Yemenite Jewish family, one of many brought from Yemen to the USA by the Hasidic Satmar community that advocates against immigration to Israel. The story exposes the deep cultural gap between the Yemenite families and the Yiddish-speaking Satmar community. The film starts on the day that Yahia and Lauza Jaradi, brought from Yemen to the Satmar community in Monroe, New York, received a phone call notifying them that their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Hadia, died in a hospital in Paterson, New Jersey. Through their search for their daughter's body, we learn the course of events that led to the death of Hadia.
