Bag of Marbles (2016)
This film follows the experiences of two young Jewish boys living in France during World War II. When Joseph Joffo was ten years old, his father gave him and his brother Maurice some money and a map and sent them on a dangerous mission to escape Nazi-occupied Paris in 1941. Making their way to the demilitarized zone in the South, the boys become unavoidably caught up in the whirlwind of war. Aided by the occasional kind soul, the two young boys swerve and dart through obstacles set by Nazi soldiers in order to avoid succumbing to the dreadful fate of so many others in this situation.
