Sister Wife is a 2000 documentary that follows the African Hebrew Israelites, an African American community that immigrated to Israel and practices polygamy. The men can have up to seven wives.
Tsiporra Bat Israel is a member of the Black Hebrew Community of Dimona. After twenty-one years of marriage she wakes up one morning to learn that her husband, Hazriel, is marrying a second wife, fourteen years her junior, as part of the polygamy tradition of the Black Hebrews. This is a film by women about women who live in an unusual community, yet at the same time it reflects the experiences shared by women everywhere.
