Directed by Charla Cochran, the story is about the awakening of a modern teen Holocaust denier. Nicole Burns doubts the truth and cares even less, but ultimately comes face-to-face with the hell of the Holocaust, and—in an extraordinary sequence—meets Anne Frank on a cattle car to Auschwitz. We start out with Nicole in today's teen world of MTV. Hip-hop dancing, unfinished homework assignments, and young love are all transported with her to Nazi-occupied Paris, 1942-44, and then are brought forward again to the light and hope of the present.
This multiple national award-winning new American classic features 15 actors ages 10 to adult: Heather Burgess, Emily Donahue, Sadie Chapman, Trevor Clay, Michael Walters, Susan Cook, Kenny Morris, Caroline Slupe (Vestavia Girl!), Brittany Allen, Graham Dupont, Merri-Morgan Mattox, Maree Jones.
