SYNOPSIS

In a New York public school district torn apart by racial divides, corrupt politicians, and escalating violence, a young Hasidic man falls in love with a Hispanic woman, who teaches at the school his leaders are shutting down. “The Hudson Tribes” is a Socio-Political Crime Thriller, inspired by true events. During a contentious school board vote led by an Orthodox Jewish majority, a prominent leader in the Hasidic community is ruthlessly kidnapped by a local right-wing extremist.  The brutal crime is witnessed by the curious eye of an unassuming Hasidic teenager, Avi, riding his bike through the quiet autumn night. The young man decides to withhold the information from the police in order to uncover the crime himself – only to realize that the woman he is infatuated with – is romantically involved with the violent kidnapper on a white nationalist campaign.
