UnBroken tells the miraculous story of the seven Weber siblings’ survival of the Holocaust. With grit and determination, the children stayed together through years of the war only to be separated for more than four decades upon arrival in the United States. Filmmaker Beth Lane, daughter of the youngest Weber, road-trips across Germany following the courageous path taken by her family, seeking answers to long-held questions about their survival. This beautiful and artistic documentary explores how resilience and sacrifice often go hand in hand.
