My People

This makes me so proud to be Greek , so proud to be represented by this woman's journey for us ...the younger generations I am deeply touched by this film I felt it restored my faith in humanity ... Thats what i felt when i watched it.

I really recommend it to all young people.

What a revelation! With My People the filmmaker has chosen to use her personal history as a Greek Jew as a vehicle to explore the Holocaust and it's effects on her own family, as well as those of her fellow countrymen. The documentary does an excellent job of detailing historical facts, weaving together a gripping narrative of the horrors of war with the resilience, resolve, hope and love that carried the survivors through it all to the promised land of freedom and a future lived to the fullest. Bravo!

With My People, Rezan has accomplished the seemingly impossible: She has brought hope and balance to the recounting of the horror of the Holocaust. The film makes it accessible but also comprehensible.

But this is not a holocaust film.

It is a story about humanity ,love, choices and inspires a global message.

While the narrative is also presenting interviews with people who lived through the Holocaust, My People has a very cinematic approach that makes it real again. Even more impressively, it is taking movies to their highest moral value.

As this film's messages feel more important than ever, demanding its audience to experience important parts of history while realizing that the past is present and the future is now, we all do have choices that can make this world a better place.

To my delight ...these stories are so wonderfully filmed. The filmmaker shows bravery and kindness. Very powerful moments. Chilling moments. Some of the finest archival footage that's ever been put in a movie. I thought i have seen everything and this is a surprise. A thought provoking cinematic experience with heart warming twists and hopeful messages .I recommend it for the reality it brings .A must watch ...by everyone .

I watched the film in LA and actually it took days for me to process all the information and to digest it emotionally .

This film is a masterpiece

What I would really love to know if this: The person that voted 1 for a) excellent cinematography b) emotional narration c) powerful music d) interesting characters e) fast pacing f) unknown historical facts g) inspiring messages Is that person just another antisemite or is it also a misogynist that can't digest the fact that the filmmaker is not only an gifted story teller but quite possibly the first young lady holocaust director that has also a career as a fashion model ?
