Gemma's Outrage

Teenager Gemma is outraged when the Schechet family's mother asks her to dress conservatively.

Two wayward British teenagers experience strict parenting on the other side of the world, as Gemma from Farnborough and Jack from Winchester travel to Israel.

For a week they must live under the religious rules of the Schechet family. The Orthodox Jewish Schechets and their five children live in a gated community half an hour from Jerusalem, where every resident follows the strict religious codes. The Schechets expect the British teens to follow the community rules of modest dress for girls and no long hair or make up for boys, rules that the teens immediately struggle with.

Over the week, the teens challenge the codes of modesty and respect demanded of them, and struggle to overcome their own defiant characters. Can the Schechets' Orthodox parenting and views effect any change in the British teens?
