I finally had the opportunity to sit and watch this entire film. What an incredible legacy you've given your family and the importance of their story (your story and those that follow!) never being forgotten. Honestly I can barely think or breathe right now. It is such a horrifying / beautiful / heartbreaking / and yet supremely brave and loving story. A brilliant tribute to your family and, of course, the importance of these stories never being forgotten.
I have seen zillions of film from this time period but never have I followed the story of seven siblings in this way.
YOU, created something so AMAZING.

"Thank you for including me today. As I have told you, as the director you have a wonderful point of view on your film which makes it as loving as it is. I can also see all of the years of work that you and your team have invested. I wish you wonderful success as the world sees you film."
Disregard the repeat

The first night, after Beth Lane's documentary, I could not stop crying - although I'm not exactly sure why. But the film was so incredibly beautiful!! And Beth is such a warm and amazing soul. The experience of seeing the film and meeting Beth (who took one look at me and said, "This woman needs a hug!" and then grabbed me into her arms and rocked me as I cried - I just cannot explain it, but I will never ever forget it!) And I will say, it is the first time I have ever seen a film involving the Holocaust and was not depressed throughout. These survivors created such hope - it was amazing. (I was crying, but I was definitely not depressed.) I hope that the whole world has the chance to see this film full of hope and humanity. Or at least all of my family and friends!!!!
The story of the Weber family is quite incredible and will show you about determination and grit of these young children surviving in a war torn Germany. Wonderfully told by the daughter of one of the 7. Beth was able capture interviews with her aunts as well as go on a journey in Germany to see and speak to folks about the locations and other findings which I will leave out of my review as to to ruin her storytelling. It is a must watch story and an important one for us all to see.
I had the pleasure of watching this on the big screen and had Beth Lane as a guest speaker after the documentary was concluded.

I am very moved and overwhelmed by watching UnBroken by Beth Lane. Firstly, there is the story itself, a true wonder.
And then, of course, the way she designed the movie. I particularly like the fact that Beth never stops giving the viewers pictures all the time. I mean that the cartoons are interestingly taken just as seriously as the conversations of her family, the historical witnesses and the reality of her visits to Germany. This makes UnBroken extremely exciting at every moment. And the film editing is also excellent. This is my immediate answer after watching UnBroken - fresh, true and full of appreciation and love. A 100% recommendation!
