In Vichy France, 1943, a group of French Jewish children (who had been sheltered by the, in French: Œuvre de secours aux enfants or Children's Aid Society, for three years) must now flee to neutral Switzerland, separated from any adults they can trust.[7]
The film won the Best Narrative Audience Award at the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival CineMondays,[8] and the Best Narrative Audience Award at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival in 2017.[9]
By keeping the worst events off screen, Fanny’s Journey is accessible for a family audience and is an absorbing, inspiring tale of bravery and determination. Suitable for ages 8+.
