Girls in Trouble: The Series - Episode 2 "Esther" "Girls in Trouble: The Series" is an indie web episodic created by two Portland-based Alicia’s, musician/writer Alicia Jo Rabins and filmmaker Alicia J. Rose, and produced by Lara Cuddy. After their successful collaboration on award-winning feature film “A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff,” this three-woman filmmaking team now brings their focus to stories of Biblical women, expanding Rabins' acclaimed song cycle into a series of snappy storytelling episodes. In each episode, Rabins takes the viewer on a journey into a Biblical woman's story through a feminist diasporic lens; visits scholars, artists and culture-bearers to learn about their work and hear their take on the story; and celebrates the resilience and strength of these ancient characters. Episode 2 “Esther” features a deep dive into Queen Esther, who rises from rags to riches and risks her life to save her people. This episode includes interviews with chef Sonya Sanford and soferet (Hebrew scribe) Julie Seltzer; conversations about hamentashen, vulnerability, Esther as a scribe, and the difficulty of Jewish life in the former Soviet Union; a live performance of Rabins’ new ballad about Esther with piano, accordion and violin; and original animation from Lettie Jane Rennekamp.
