Sorella’s Story
Sorella's Story explores the story behind a single atrocity photograph taken in December 1941 during the Holocaust with the aim to be a visceral reminder and warning of how prejudice can escalate to devastating tragedy.
Buried by history, the film brings to life this smuggled photograph, capturing the story of the Latvian Jewish women and 11-year-old girl Sorella, on their final journey to the beach on the Baltic Sea where close to 4,000 people, mostly women and children, were massacred.
