How will we tell the story of the Holocaust when the survivors are gone? In this profoundly touching, intergenerational documentary, a charismatic Holocaust survivor inspires her family to connect to relatives they could never meet. Focusing on her brother Kalman, Anna recounts tales of a mischievous boy who tried to escape the Warsaw ghetto with her.
Her daughter Roz, an artist, devours the stories and paints his portrait over and over again. As Kalman's face emerges on canvas, the film travels back and forth in time from archival Warsaw ghetto footage to summers in a Catskills bungalow colony, from vibrant family life before World War II to today.
Four generations grapple differently with their shared history. In spite of parental attempts to shield their children from the horrors, Roz grew up entangled in her mother’s pain. Maya, an Israeli-born granddaughter, expresses her life’s passion by playing the viola. Performing with Arab and Israeli youth, she questions why there has to be war when she finds natural ease in making music with someone she’s told should be her enemy. Maya performs the original music composed for the film. Eleven-year-old great-grandson Roy wonders with concern how the members of his generation will understand the Holocaust when it seems like just another story. Anna, a survivor, lives with her pain, while never losing her commitment to living life to the fullest.
As the loving family that grew from two survivors celebrates together, the film shows how four generations find light even in the darkest of places—with a resiliency that moves viewers to do the same.

When Sally Met Selma is the story of a wedding, a war, and a very unlikely reunion. Sally became known as the Angel of Mostar when she rescued ten-year-old Selma and her brother from the war-torn city of Mostar in 1993. The children were severely injured when a mortar exploded near their house and though they both needed surgery, there was only enough anesthetic for one child. Selma insisted that her brother should have it and her arm had to be amputated without anesthetic.
Hearing there were wounded children in desperate need of help, Sally convinced the Croats to lend her an ambulance and crossed the front line under fire. She found the children lying in the basement of a makeshift hospital where the floor was awash with blood. Sally drove the children and their mother to safety and went on to rescue around two hundred wounded children from the besieged city.
This moving documentary is the story of how Sally saved Selma, how they lost each other, and how finally – 17 years later – they were reunited, when Selma invited Sally to be a guest of honour at her wedding in New York.
