Put NO ASYLUM at the top of your “Must See” documentary list for 2016!
THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK is the most read book in the world, after the Bible and the Quran. With her eloquent words transcending cultures and borders, her universal message of respect is still pertinent today, 70 years after her death. But Anne’s diary isn’t the whole story of the Frank family.
A trove of recently discovered documents, including letters from Anne Frank’s father Otto written between April 30, 1941 and December 11, 1941 (when Germany declared war on the U.S.), as well as correspondence with relatives and friends in the United States, set the stage for what led to the Frank family going into two years of hiding beginning in July 1942. This documentary from director/producer Paula Fouce, NO ASYLUM: THE UNTOLD CHAPTER OF ANNE FRANK’S STORY, completes the story of Anne Frank and her family, as they struggled to elude the clutches of Nazi-occupied Holland while the world turned its back on them. A compelling and heartbreaking beginning and end to Anne Frank’s diary.
In theatres exclusively at Laemmle Music Hall in Beverly Hills on Friday, August 19, 2016.
