My People

The film is an ode to the triumph of the human spirit under condition of extreme duress .

The filmmaker has created an enduring work which is certain to touch your heart strings .

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.

Watched the film in Los Angeles and was taken on a journey . MORE current than ever.

Esthetically impressive , some of the most interesting archival footage that is ever been put in a film.

Heartfelt messages...strong music ...powerful stories ...many films in one film...

A documantery with a twist ....

Unexpected

The filmmaker is a pioneer in storytelling.

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 ?

Amazing job. Loved the music This is a way for the young people to understand and appreciate history .

Yes , Rezan is a pioneer filmmaker and hopefully she will inspire many other young filmmakers to follow her lead .

Her directorial debut is an auteur's first triumph as an "adult" filmmaker as "My People" employs cinematic sleight of hand to a very high level; Rezan's narrative voice, her tenor, tone and choice of accent is excellent. Throughout the Golden Age of Hollywood, stars including Cary Grant, Bette Davis, and Orson Welles employed what's known as a "Mid-Atlantic accent," a sort of American-British hybrid of speaking that relies on tricks like dropping "R" sounds and softening vowels, in order to convey sophistication on the silver screen. It is another homage to the golden age of Hollywood which in approximation coincides with the years the documentary centers on. Additionally, clear articulation is of paramount importance in a documentary.
