El viaje de Fanny

I just watched this movie at the East Bay Jewish Film Festival in Pleasant Hill. It is a WWII movie that takes place in France in 1943 in what at that time was a part of France that was controlled by Italy, and when Mussolini, gets overthrown, sets in motion these events.

This movie kept me on the edge of my seat, as you watch a reluctant Fanny, aged about 13 finding herself in charge of a bunch of little Jewish kids being forced to flee from France to Switzerland as the Nazis take over in this area of France from Italy. Like all little kids, they all want their mommies and daddies and don't quite understand what is happening to them. This movie is based on a true story and was quite exciting.

Heartfelt, heartwarming story of a group of Jewish children escaping the Nazi scourge in WW2. The performance at the child actors is faultless. The story keeps the viewer on the edge of one's seat, heart in mouth as the brave little souls overcome overwhelming odds, chased at every point by Wehrmacht soldiers and heartless French collaborator police determined to send these innocents to the hell of the Nazi extermination machine. Inspirational.

Bless you Fanny Ben Ami and thanks. The tears in my eyes after I watched. You are amazing and I so hope happy! Amazing journey!

{I have to say that this movie is my number 1 favorite & my second is, the movie that's called, "The Book Thief". These two movies are my favorites.) ❣❣❣

A delightful if fraught tale of bravery beyond belief. The acting and direction is superb. The kids are amazing.

A harrowing story that one can only marvel at. Fortitude at such a young age is truly inspirational.

Well worth the watch among today's silly little movies.
