FILM / EVENT DETAIL

i was 8814 - with scenes from Alrewas Arboretum - in aid of Wychnor Kid's Village.

Featuring scenes from the Alrewas National Memorial Arboretum, 50% of the proceeds from tickets will go to the film makers and The Red Carpet’s 50% will all be donated to The Wychnor Kid’s Village who provide respite for children with critical illnesses.

Both showings of this film will be introduced by Dr Amy Williams who lives locally and works for the Association of Jewish Refugees as the Kindertransport scholar in residence. She recently discovered the lost Kindertransport lists and the story I’d love you to watch here at The Red Carpet was featured in The New York Times.

Here’s a synopsis..

Torn from her home, alone, and unsure of where she was headed, Hanna left Germany on a transport bound for England at just 7 years old.

She would come to learn that she was part of an epic rescue effort that would save nearly 10,000 Jewish children from Hitler’s Nazi regime. Hanna’s parents, Markus and Amalie however, would not make it to safety. They were forced from their home and deported to endure six months of inhumane conditions in the Lódz Ghetto before being murdered in Chelmno, Poland, on May 3, 1942.

In the film, ’i was 8814,’ Hanna sits down at 92 years old to personally narrate her story in breathtaking detail. She recounts childhood experience of seeing Hitler parade through her hometown, the heartbreaking journey of discovering her parent’s fate, facing the bitter truth, and turning her vengeful hatred to forgiveness.

The film was shot on location across Germany, Poland, Britain, and the United States, and features several prominent national memorials, including the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, England.
