Unchained’s founder and executive director, Fraidy Reiss, was featured in December 2013 in “Jews on Bikes,” a documentary produced by Sky Atlantic in the U.K.
Here is Sky Atlantic’s description of the documentary: “This 6-part series for Sky Atlantic joins 8 British Jewish bikers as they embark on the ultimate road trip across America to discover their history and themselves. This unique, quirky and heart-warming series fuses Judaism with life on the road as our colourful characters unite with other Jewish biker clubs and meet a plethora of extraordinary people along the way.”
One of those “extraordinary people” was Fraidy Reiss, who was featured in the second episode of the documentary. She spoke to the bikers about her favorite topic, arranged/forced marriage, and how it happens in the Orthodox Jewish community. She and then-Unchained board member Elana Knopp shared with the bikers their personal experiences with abusive marriages arranged in that community.
