compelling real stories
9 November 2020
After WWII, Britain takes in hundreds of Jewish orphans who survived the concentration camps. About a hundred head off to a former airplane factory in the countryside near Lake Windermere.

This is based on the real people and the real place. The real stories are compelling without added drama. There are some push-back from the locals. I would like the film to balance it by highlighting the support. The other issue is that I want more of Bela and the younglings. I wanted to rail against this movie's Karen but one never knows someone's wartime loss. The real stories are devastating and heartwarming.
