THEY AIN’T READY FOR ME

They Ain’t Ready For Me is the story of Tamar Manasseh, the
African American rabbinical student who is leading the fight
against senseless killings on the south side of Chicago. The film
explores the challenges and motivations of this fearless community
leader as she works to prevent more people from being killed by
gun violence. Tamar’s complex identity and magnetic personality
combine to make her a force to be reckoned with, and she hasn’t
even hit her stride yet.
