Based on the bestselling novel by Israeli author Uri Orlev, Run Boy Run is the unbelievable true story of a young Polish boy who struggles, alone, to outlast the Nazi occupation of Poland. After escaping the Warsaw ghetto, nine-year old Srulik flees to the woods, surviving by his wits until a kind farmer's wife takes him in. Passing as a Christian war orphan, he makes his way across the changing countryside, relying on little more than the kindness of others for his very survival. Some will help him and others will betray him, but a final chance meeting will determine his fate and whether he loses himself or his fleeting childhood.
