My Best Friend Anne Frank (2021)

103 min - History, War, Drama & Zionism: The Jewish Victim - 7 October 2021
Your rating:

Based on the real-life friendship between Anne Frank and Hannah Goslar, from Nazi-occupied Amsterdam to their harrowing reunion in a concentration camp. The film adopts the Zionist ideology by showing the Jewish victim. The problem here is that it shows only the Jewish victim and does not mention the millions of others who were lost in the Second World War. This is the reason for our disagreement with them regarding such films. **The film won the Golden Film award in October 2021 after having sold 100,000 tickets
