About
Directed by Academy Award-winner Barry Levinson and based on a true story, HBO Original film The Survivor stars award-winning actor Ben Foster as Harry Haft, who, after being sent to Auschwitz, survives not only the unspeakable horrors of the camp, but the gladiatorial boxing spectacle he is forced to perform with his fellow prisoners for the amusement of his captors. Unbeknownst to those who try to destroy him, Haft’s will to survive is driven by his quest to reunite with the woman he loves.
The Survivor is an examination of one man’s journey from unspeakable horrors to freedom, forgiveness and redemption.
This screening will be followed by a conversation with Alan Haft, son of Harry.
