About the Film

In 2004, the filmmaker joined his parents - both holocaust survivors - on a very emotional journey to their hometown of Lodge, Poland, where they were invited to participate in the ceremonies for the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Lodge ghetto. After that trip, coming back to L.A, he began working on a short animation film based on the poem "I Saw a Mountain" by Moiche Schulstein, read in Yiddish by his father.

This sepia-toned collaboration is a testimony to life and not destruction. Plays before: Human Failure.
