Stork of Hope

US Premiere

This powerful film follows the incredible journey of two Jewish brothers, orphaned and separated during the early days of World War II. As a convoy of refugees is shot down by German fighter planes, their mother is killed and the brothers are abandoned. Their sole possession is a family photograph that they split in half just before being separated, symbolizing both their loss and their hope for reunion. As the brothers endure imprisonment in a German hospital and navigate through unimaginable struggles, they hold on to the torn photograph as a lifeline and guiding light.

Through the eyes of the elder brother, who is eventually saved by a courageous Belarusian family, we witness a powerful tale of survival, humanity, and hope. The fate of the younger brother remains a mystery until a fateful phone call decades later brings them back together. In a heart-stopping moment, the torn halves of the photograph are reunited, offering a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the bond of family, even in the face of war’s darkest moments. This deeply moving film honors the righteous among nations who risked everything to save others, transcending borders and showing that kindness has no nationality.
