Watching Walter
A short biopic set in both 1995 Philadelphia and World War II Nazi occupied Poland. Based on the true story of Holocaust survivor-turned watchmaker Wladyslaw ”Walter” Wojnas, it”s a slice of life story that touches on several poignant moments in his life during those times. It”s a story of triumph over tragedy, and is all too relevant in today”s turbulent international climate.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” -Viktor Frankl, ”Man”s Search For Meaning”
