    A reminder that even in the darkest times, some find the courage to do what’s right. An important and unforgettable story. That baby scene will stay with me forever. Shocking.

    Irena's Vow

    Genuinely the best film I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Absolutely devastating story, and so shockingly real. Movie did not miss a pace and told a beautifully woven story focusing on the real experiences of the victims during the war, both Jew and Polish. Must watch

Filmed on authentic locations in Poland by meticulous Canadian director Louise Archambault, Irena’s Vow is one of the most astounding true stories to ever emerge from the ashes of the Holocaust.

This is such a worthwhile story that we can’t look away, and Nélisse is so engaging that we don’t want to.
