Detroit Jewish Film Festival: For the Living

Documentary / USA /English / 117 minutes In 1945, 10-year-old Holocaust survivor Marcel Zielinski made a 60-mile journey by foot from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Krakow in search of his family. Decades later, 250 cyclists retrace his path in a mission called Ride for the Living. This powerful documentary draws parallels between his experience and the cyclists’ journey to spark a conversation about the struggle between dehumanization and empathy. Talk-back with co-director Tim Roper and producer Lisa Effress following the screening.
Presented by The Lenore Marwil Detroit Jewish Film Festival Sponsor: Team Alex; Jewish Federation of Detroit; Temple Israel Brotherhood; The Zekelman Holocaust Center; JRec
