Description
Glenn Kurtz's discovery of an old family film in his parents' closet sets him on a journey to uncover a lost piece of history. The 1938 footage, shot by his grandfather during a trip to Europe, captures the thriving Jewish town of Nasielsk, Poland, just before its destruction. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Kurtz restores the film and searches for clues about the town's inhabitants, who would ultimately face unimaginable tragedy. The film's significance becomes clear as it is shared with others, including a young woman who recognizes her grandfather in the footage. This connection sparks a chain of events that takes Kurtz to archives, cemeteries, and other locations in search of answers about Nasielsk's history. Through his remarkable journey, Kurtz sheds light on a forgotten chapter in history, revealing the human stories behind the statistics.
