"Run Boy Run" - Award-winning Holocaust Film Next Up on Tuesday, July 28

Winner of Multiple Audience Choice Awards at Jewish Film Festivals: Boston, Dallas, Rochester, Los Angeles. A gripping, true-to-life drama of a Polish boy who flees the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942 and survives first in the woods and then, posing as a Christian war orphan, amongst villagers. Just when it seems his childhood memories and identity could be lost forever, his harrowing journey culminates in a powerhouse ending. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Pepe Danquart (Black Rider) and based on the bestselling Holocaust novel by Israeli author Uri Orlev. In Polish.

The final film of the season takes place on August 4: A Borrowed Identity (Israel).
