U.S. Premiere! The Silent Historian Simonka de Jong and Joann Sfar Draws From Memory director Sam Ball in person!
A fascinating documentary about the filmmaker’s grandfather, the prominent Dutch historian Loe de Jong, known for his research on the history of the Netherlands during World War II. De Jong grew to national prominence when the war history of public figures such as Prince Claus came to light. After his death, the family made a discovery—Loe had concealed personal documents about his twin brother, Sally, who didn’t survive the war. Why did Loe never give these letters to Sally’s children who spent their lives looking for traces of the family that was broken apart by the war?
