Detroit Jewish Film Festival - The Story of Annette Zelman

Philippe Le Guay, Director

What begins as an innocent romance between Jean, a well-connected Catholic boy in Nazi-occupied Paris and Annette, his Jewish girlfriend, turns into a gripping tale of star-crossed lovers in this heartbreaking drama based on actual events. This film brings to life one of numerous documented cases revealing the role ordinary French citizens took in informing on their Jewish neighbors and probes the human cost of turning a blind eye.

Talkback with Director Philippe Le Guay (live on-screen) and "Star Crossed" novel author Heather Dune Macadam (in-person).
