About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we’re rooting for the heroes. Our Jewish guest is philosopher and filmmaker Bernard-Henri Lévy , who returns to the show to tell us about the newest film in his Ukraine trilogy , called Glory to the Heroes . The film is a tribute to everyday Ukrainian heroes, including some Ukrainian-born Israeli soldiers who finished their service in the IDF and volunteered to fight for Ukraine. Get tickets for the local U.S. screenings here . Our Gentile of the Week is Brooke Eby. She was diagnosed with ALS at age 33 and joins us to talk about her experience having a terminal illness at such a young age, and how she’s raising awareness about the realities of ALS.
