As a dedication to what would have been Frank’s 90th anniversary in 2019 - and in cooperation with the Anne Frank Foundation - the documentary takes audiences into Anne's room within the secret annex of her family's hiding place before being deported, and through read excerpts of her diary intertwined with the experiences of the survivors who lived to tell their own parallel stories.
