  • “UnBroken is an unforgettable account of how seven Jewish children from a single family managed to survive the Holocaust, thanks to their own resolve and the kindness of ordinary Germans who hid them, unwilling to follow the brutal dictates of the Nazi regime. By turns heartbreaking and heroic, and always riveting, it offers vivid proof that good can triumph even over unspeakable evil.”

Greenwich Entertainment Acquires ‘UnBroken,’ Film Documenting A Family’s Remarkable Survival Story In Nazi Germany

"UnBroken’s powerful storytelling makes it a significant addition to Holocaust documentaries.”

Thom Powers on UnBroken

The unbreakable connection between family members, no matter the circumstance, is foundational to UnBroken. Beth Lane’s documentary tells the story of her own family, and how seven siblings (including Lane’s mother) survived the Holocaust with the help of German citizens, and then weren’t reunited until four decades later.

Editor-in-Chief Sharon Waxman calls for Education & Accountability following Bondi Beach Massacre

“This weekend I watched the documentary ‘UnBroken,’ about a family of seven Jewish children … saved during WWII by a German farmer and his wife, who hid them at their farm outside the city for two years. Their courage is stunning, even today. The story is one of countless miracles that today stand as a counterargument to the crushing evil of the Holocaust.”

Greenwich Entertainment Acquires ‘UnBroken

“'UnBroken' is hands down an antidote to hate. It’s not a political statement. It’s not a religious statement. It’s a spiritual confession… to give audiences the opportunity to exercise their muscles of empathy and compassion.”

UnBroken Review

Beth Lane’s UnBroken is a profound dissertation on Jewish heritage and history, presenting a documentary so remarkable that — although undeniably specific — it is a universal reminder to each and every one of us on what it means to be human and the journeys we all take in life.

Sie überlebte als Jüdin den Holocaust nahe Berlin: „Wir waren ganz allein, als sie uns holten”

“There is so much evil in the world that is always overwhelmed by so much good. We must always remember that good always prevails over evil.”

Crítica – Miami Film Festival – UnBroken

What particularly caught my attention was this quest, this desire to know oneself in order to find oneself. I don't know if the director has fully found herself or if she has discovered something she didn't know she needed, but it is clear that there is a need to create and to tell stories. I hope this is the first of many works by this director.
