Run Boy Run
Sponsored by WNIT Polish, German, Russian and Yiddish with English subtitles
Escaping the Warsaw ghetto at the behest of his father, nine-year old Srulik (movingly portrayed by twin child actors Andrzej and Kamil Tkacz) flees to the woods. There, he learns to hide from SS patrols and scour for food, until loneliness and the harsh onset of winter drive him back to civilization. Taken in by a kindhearted farmer's wife (Elisabeth Duda), he is given shelter and a new identity as a Christian war orphan. An unforgettable cinematic experience, Run Boy Run is directed by Oscar-winner Pepe Danquart and based on the best-selling novel by Israeli author Uri Orlev. 108 minutes - Appropriate for audiences 12 and over
