A Clip from "A Gesheft" - A Chaseidisher Movie

Form the uploader: "A Gesheft (Yiddish: א געשעפט, The Deal) is a 2005 action movie, with a religious message, in the Yiddish language, made by ultra-Orthodox Jews from Monsey, New York. It is the first movie made by ultra-Orthodox Jews entirely in Yiddish and one of very few Yiddish films altogether since the destruction of most Yiddish-speaking communities by the Nazis. The movie has been marketed primarily to an Orthodox audience, not without some controversy. It has also drawn attention from less traditionalist Jews with an interest in Yiddish, since it is a document of contemporary spoken Yiddish."
