The Boy in the Woods
Based on Maxwell Smart’s best-selling memoir, The Boy in the Woods follows the true story of a resourceful young boy’s harrowing experience of surviving the Holocaust. After his family is rounded up by the Germans, Max’s mother and aunt help him escape into the woods where he must learn to fend for himself. Max encounters another young boy in hiding and the two heroically save a baby girl. More than just an individual survival story, the film is testament to Max’s innate sense of compassion to set aside his fear and help others.
