Run Boy Run

Directed by Academy Award winner Pepe Danquart

A superlative saga of courage and compassion. It is an unforgettable cinematic experience. A remarkable testament to the human will to survive against all odds, this is an extraordinary true story of a Polish boy's solitary struggle to outlast the Nazi occupation. The nine-year-old Jewish boy flees on foot as they hunt him and other Jews who have sought refuge in the forests of wartime Poland. Srulik forages for food in the woods and sleeps on the forest floor. He then pretends to be a gentile who has been orphaned by the war. This is a rare Holocaust narrative told exclusively through the eyes of a child.
