The remarkable true story of a Polish boy’s solitary struggle to outlast the Nazi occupation is given the epic treatment it deserves in Run Boy Run. Young Srulik (stirringly portrayed by twin brothers Andrzej and Kamil Tkacz) escapes the Warsaw ghetto into the woods, where he learns to evade capture and subsist on scraps. But a harsh winter forces him into civilizations, where he must rely on the kindness of strangers and overcome betrayal if he intends to survive. Based on a best-selling book and brought to vivid life by Oscar-winning director Pepe Danquart, this Holocaust drama has won festival awards worldwide.
