This gleefully profane film is remarkably inspiring and truly special: An ex-con turned rabbi and a nice Jewish girl who liked bad boys… together, they’ve saved thousands of lives. How can two individuals who hurt many people and made many mistakes, end up saving thousands of lives? The film follows the dark, troubled, often unbelievable pasts of Rabbi Mark Borovitz and Harriet Rossetto, as their journeys not only lead them to one another but to the formation of Beit T’Shuvah, a one-of-a-kind Jewish recovery and treatment center known around the globe. Directors: Barry Rosenthal and Victor Velle
