Hilary Helstein offers a historically significant documentary reportage of Holocaust survivors who utilized art as their primary coping mechanism inside Hitler's concentration camps.
09/28/09
A quietly impressive testament to the tenaciousness of the human spirit.
09/24/09
Serves as another critical reminder of one of the world's most horrific periods, even if, cinematically, it's an affecting collection of stories and images in search of an actual center.

Though Maya Angelou is enlisted as the solemn narrator of Hilary Helstein's Holocaust documentary, the survivors here need no help expressing their own tragedies.

Unfortunately, Angelou's detached and often superfluous narration lessens the film's impact.

Art executed under the most excruciating conditions deserves a far more searching study than this too short film, which has the structure of a hurried checklist.
