Lev Tahor is an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect that fled Quebec for Chatham-Kent, Ontario in November 2013, just as child protection workers were preparing to take two families to court. 16x9 correspondent Carolyn Jarvis travels to the group's new community and is given access its members rarely grant outsiders, spending a week documenting daily life. The sect's grand rabbi, Shlomo Helbrans, is a convicted felon, and former officials allege the children under his authority were abused, neglected, and kept under extreme control; the community denies this and says it left over a dispute about education and religious freedom. The footage shows how deeply religion structures daily routine: boys start school at age three learning the Yiddish alphabet, move on to Genesis within two years, and by their teens sit in class from 7:30 in the morning until 9:30 at night. A judge ultimately orders the children into foster care, but by then the families involved have already left the province.
