Recently I was able to view Lost on a Mountain in Maine a true story based on the book of the same name written by Donn Fendler and produced by Balboa Productions. It is a movie about Boy vs Nature. When Donn gets separated during a tense moment during their hike he finds himself in a nine-day fight for his life. Nine days take a boy on a journey that most thought would end in peril. You have to see it to believe what happens. This movie comes out on November 1st. Check out the trailer below.

I am so excited to tell my readers that Irena's Vow is coming out April 15th and 16th at a theater near you: https://www.fathomevents.com/events/irenas-vow/. I had no idea this movie was coming out till I was contacted. Anyone who knows me knows I have a big interest in the WWII era, to be more specific, what happened to the people who were being tortured, running, or hiding for their lives, and those who stood up trying to make a difference. 

This movie is a true story about a nurse who witnesses a tragedy and vows to save a life whenever she can. Irena's Vow checks the boxes for suspense, reality, tears, compassion, thrills, dark times, and a will to survive. This time in our history can never be forgotten, and every time a movie or book comes out, it reminds future children and adults never to let this happen again. Irena's Vow reminds me of how much a human can endure during hard times. 

I have many favorite books and movies about WWII, and Irena's Vow has now joined the ranks of movies that need to be seen. 



About IRENA'S VOW:

 IRENA’S VOW is told through the eyes of strong-willed, 19-year-old Irena Gut Opdyke, and represents the triumphs of the human spirit in a time of devastating tragedy. Irena is promoted to housekeeper in the home of a highly respected Nazi officer when she finds out that the Jewish ghetto is about to be liquidated. Determined to help Jewish workers, she decides to shelter them in the safest place she can think of - the basement of the German Major’s house. Over the next two years, Irena used her wit, humor, and courage to hide her friends until the end of the German occupation, concealing them amid countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and even the birth of a child. Her story is one of the most inspiring of our time.
