"Telling the story in German, by Germans and for Germans proved one of the trickiest feats," recalls the Amsterdam-born director, Ludi Boeken, whose own parents survived thanks to the bravery and hearts of farmers.
Tricky nonetheless, it seems to be paying off.
While Saviors in the Night has been tearing through the Film Festival Circuit here, picking up an Audience Award in Pittsburgh, it seems to be doing equally as well internationally.
Just this past week it was screened at the Film Festival in Lyons, France. Playing to a packed house the film won the Audience Award.
The film will continue on its Festival course; screening in Washington D.C., Minneapolis, and Portland next week and in Baltimore on the 28th.
