Filmed in New York City for "American Agenda," this raw news footage documents the public protest of Hannah Fine, an Orthodox Jewish woman fighting for a "Get"—a religious bill of divorce required under Jewish law to remarry or date.
The video captures a poignant scene outside the law office of her husband, Larry Fine. Unable to move on with her life without his consent, Hannah takes to the streets accompanied by a group of female supporters and her own children, Daniela and Michael.
Highlights include:
01:01:39 – Hannah’s children holding handwritten signs pleading with their father to grant the divorce.
01:04:38 – Supporters chanting "Larry Fine, Give Your Wife a Get!" outside his office building.
01:13:36 – Community reactions, including passersby and Orthodox men engaging with the protestors.
01:16:36 – Hannah’s son, Michael, confronting the irony that his father is a divorce attorney who refuses to divorce his own wife.
01:23:15 – Discussions on the street regarding the "one-sided" nature of traditional marriage contracts in this context.
This footage provides a rare, on-the-ground look at the pressure tactics used by "Agunot" (chained women) to gain their freedom when religious courts reach a stalemate.
