Lena Browning is approached by a young, and ambitious director, actress and storyteller: Sienna Hayes. At 85 years old, Lena is finally ready to share her real story.
Bina Blonski was a weathly Jewish woman in 1943, but soon things changed when the Germans rolled in. Bina and her husband Jakub, and his brother Aleksander were imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto, while her father perished and mother and sister were sent to Treblinka.
Bina won’t settle for giving up, and is able to pass as Aryan woman. In doing so she is able to procure supplies, medicine and joins the resistance efforts. During her time with the resistance she loses many loved ones, and is involved in an unlikely assassin.
Bina does make it to the United States, and she hasn’t forgotten. Many Germans are living in America too, and they haven’t paid for their war crimes. She makes an effort to hunt them down, and get justice for the Jewish lives lost in Poland.
Sacrifice and bravery, with a little movie magic makes this one unforgettably heartbreaking, telling and impossible to put down.
