Arranged

I saw this movie last night and it was a great movie.    Low-budget ($120K) but extremely well done and the topic was well presented.   It was about an Orthodox Jewish girl and a Muslim girl.    Both are teachers at a school and become friends.   

The movie is about their friendship and their common experience of having arranged marriages.    It shows their cultural, ethnic and highly traditional life-styles in a very unbiased way that doesn't minimize them.     It is about their choices to live within their religious and traditional cultural heritage within the context of a secular society.    It does a great job of showing the issues from the vantage point of the ladies without staining the movie with an overriding agenda, an accomplishment I wish more popular film makers could emulate.   

Worth renting if you get the chance.
