Fanny's Journey

Based on a true story of bravery, strength and survival, Fanny’s Journey tells the story of a daring young girl who will stop at nothing and fears no one.  Following the arrest of their father in Paris, Fanny and her younger sisters Erika and Georgette are sent to a boarding school in France’s neutral zone. Their safe haven is only temporary however, and the Jewish students are whisked away to another institution where they come under the care of the tough but tender Madame Forman. When the Nazis arrive in Italy, their caretakers desperately organize the departure of the children to Switzerland. As danger advances yet again, the children’s fate is entrusted to 13-year-old Fanny who fearlessly treks through the countryside on a perilous mission to reach the Swiss border, with only wits and solidarity to guide her.
