Escape from Room 18

This film really brought to light that gang activity reaches to even the smallest of towns and spreads hate to every corner of the world. I love how it explores the transformation a person is capable of making. This film had my attention throughout its entirety. The emotions in this film are raw and absorb you into the real-life story. I highly recommend this film to any audience.

"WOW!!" is what comes to my mind after watching this well and respectfully made documentary by director Daniel Brea and producer Yan Fisher-Romanovsky.

"Escape from Room 18" brings an honest story with a message for today, but it doesn't end by just "telling a story": it also shows the "why" and "how". This specific story is about "neo-nazism" but the "mechanisms" are the same as any other form of radicalism and fundamentalism. That is why this documentary is an important tool in this fight. When you have to "sanction", it is too late. This film might actually help with "prevention". It should (also) be viewed in schools and correction facilities - as a warning and especially as a testimony of hope.

I had some moments that I noticed some tear shaped drops in my eyes, but deny every rumor that it was caused by any other but (highly possible) allergy related symptoms.

This is truly a story of redemption unlike any other. Whether you are religious or not, it is extremely moving to see someone so lost move between a world of secret organized violence and hatred to a state of compassion and public atonement. The strongest components of the film are the interviews and the footage of two people reunited and determined to witness and validate the pain and suffering of the Holocaust. It is truly a miraculous story to me, even though I myself am an atheist. I hope other people will watch and listen, and come away from this film with an open mind and a broader perspective of what is possible in life. More stories like this are greatly needed to help heal the violence and xenophobia our world experiences.

This was an amazing story between two friends filled with hearts and tears. It is a story that shows how love won at the end between two unlikely friends. A story of hope teaching us that light will always overcome darkness. A must watch that I will share with my friends and I can watch it again and again.

Very moving and impactful story. It has a surprizing twist and an amazin change in the characters lives. Highly recomend it.
