SCREENING | THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS
Description :
Set in the heart of World War II, and based on John Boyn’s bestselling book of the same name, The Boy Behind the Barbed Wire is a story about the power of true friendship, the limits of innocence, and the greatness of humanity that will capture your heart and mind for years to come.
The film is based on John Boyne’s best-selling novel, which has sold over 3 million copies, worldwide. First published in 2006, it spent 66 weeks in the top 10 most popular books in Ireland and takes us back to the dark years of World War II, specifically to a camp.
Bruno is only eight years old and his innocent eyes cannot see the crimes committed by his father, the camp commander. Trouble begins, along with Bruno’s friendship with a little Jewish boy on the other side of the fence…
This is a powerful, timeless story about the limits of innocence and the greatness of humanity.
