JCCNS International Jewish 13th Annual Film Festival, generously sponsored by Sharon and Howard Rich & Leslie and Bob Ogan

Based on the astonishing true story of one of Germany’s most beloved TV icons, this absorbing period drama follows Hans Rosenthal, a national superstar whose vibrant on-air charm conceals the wounds of surviving the war. In 1978, at the height of his fame, he learns that a milestone live episode of his hit game show coincides with the 40th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the pogrom that shattered his family and forced him into hiding as a teen. Pressured by network executives to focus on the broadcast rather than attend the country’s first official memorial, Rosenthal faces an agonizing dilemma. As the countdown to air begins, celebrity, conscience, and the weight of history collide, compelling him to confront buried memories, self-doubt, and a nation eager to move on.
