When Jewish children were saved from the Nazis during WWII, many times it was non-Jews who hid them inside their homes. For months and sometimes years at a time these children were cut off from the world, at great risk to everyone involved. Academy Award winner Aviva Slesin's intensely personal documentary tells the remarkable stories of some of these children and their rescuers. An inspirational account of ordinary people behaving extraordinarily, Secret Lives reveals courage and strength of character under the worst conditions in the history of human conflict. Slesin, herself one of these hidden children, writes, "For a long time I thought of this as the work of my dreams.  Then I started to understand that it was also the work of my nightmares."
