As a result, the film performed poorly at the box office and was pulled from most theaters after its third week of release

Synopsis

Told from the point of view of a strong-willed woman, the remarkable story of Irena Gut recounts the triumph of the human spirit over devastating tragedy as she risked her life to save a generation of Jews from the atrocities of the Holocaust. Although this film was shown in many more theaters in Canada than the typical Canadian film, for some reason its distributor, Elevation Pictures, decided not to allocate a substantial marketing budget to the film.

I was instantly hooked by this film and kept hooked until the credits rolled

I will never understand the intense hatred and extreme obsession one human being has with hurting another based solely on race. Fortunately, on the other side of this evil, there are decent people who performed heroic acts of courage, morality and good conscience to protect the victims in these horrific circumstances.

Sophie Nelisse and the entire cast deliver phenomenal performances

This film is full of drama and suspense and I highly recommend it!
