Opening Night
BJFF 2014 Opening Night: Run Boy Run
Wednesday, November 5
7:00 pm at the Coolidge Corner Theatre
A Jewish hero’s tale, this is the miraculous
true-to-life story of Srulik, a 9-year-old boy
who flees from the Warsaw ghetto in 1942.
He survives among the animals in the woods,
eludes SS patrols, and charms locals into
taking him in, while keeping alive his Jewish
faith through the terrible war against his
people. “A superlative saga of courage and
compassion with a powerhouse conclusion.”
—Toronto Jewish Film Festival
