The filming of the documentary took four years to complete.[6] The film is described as an attempt to demonstrate how Hasidic women are not treated as "second-class citizens" in their community, and features Hasidic women pointing to customs that they would not agree to adhere to.[7] One scene in the first Shekinah film captures the persistence of anti-Semitism in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and the Hasidic effort to respond with outreach efforts.[6] One of the main characters in both films is Rebbetzin Chanie Carlebach, mother of twelve and the director of the Chabad seminary in Ste-Agathe.[8]: 43
