The Boy in the Woods
Pittsburgh Premiere
Separated from his family, Max, a young Jewish boy, flees to escape the Nazis in Eastern Europe. He first finds refuge with a family in the country but is eventually forced to live in the woods on his own. His harrowing experience is one of both courage and compassion in which a young boy manages to survive against all odds. Based on the bestselling memoir by Canadian Holocaust survivor Maxwell Smart, The Boy in the Woods is a gripping tale that is both tragic and inspiring and serves as a stark reminder of this dark moment in history and the indomitable spirit of humanity.
