About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, you’re totally invited to our bat mitzvah. First we talk to Amanda Stern —aka Fiona Rosenbloom —the author of the young adult novel You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah , which the new Netflix film is based on. She shares (pre-strike!) what it was like to have her novel adapted into an Adam Sandler movie and gives us an update on what she’s working on now. Then director Guy Nattiv joins us to discuss Golda , his new film about former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. He tells us about the experience of making a film about one of Israel’s most iconic figures, working with Helen Mirren, and more. We love to hear from you!
