Irena's Vow

Irena’s Vow is beautifully filmed, with careful attention to period detail.

Long after the last image has flickered into your eye, you’ll be left with a deeper, overarching appreciation of what humans are capable of at their best. You can’t put a price on that. Gordon and Archambault deserve a lot of credit for adapting her life in an exciting and heartfelt way.

Filmed on authentic locations in Poland by meticulous Canadian director Louise Archambault, Irena’s Vow is one of the most astounding true stories to ever emerge from the ashes of the Holocaust.

This is such a worthwhile story that we can’t look away, and Nélisse is so engaging that we don’t want to.
