The Feature Documentary

About the Film

A young child swings in the park, seemingly unperturbed by a tragic event that occurred long before his birth. And yet, his psyche portrays a completely different story. The tragedy that is The Holocaust has taken a hold of him and tens of thousands of other Descendants of the Holocaust from around the world.Forever After is the story of how this tragic event has shaped the lives not only of those who experienced it first hand, but their descendants as well. For the first time, we capture a glimpse into the complex psychology of the Descendents of the Survivors of the Holocaust, and how the different worlds they have grown up in, affects how they determine their place in the world, their outlook on life and the future.

The Message

Forever After is a feature documentary that breaks new ground with its unique global perspective on the effects of the Holocaust on the Descendants of the Survivors. The film postulates that irrespective of distinctive cultural environments and circumstances, there are bonds and behavioral commonalities shared by families of Holocaust survivors. The documentary will be a visually compelling tangible record of the consequences, both positive and negative, of the Holocaust’s effects. The film will be an engaging and educational work, with audiences ranging from theater-goers to students, who can reflect upon the longstanding repercussions of war, acts of hatred, and intolerance – subjects of universal concern.
