Lena My 100 Children/Evil In Clear Water

The story of Lena’s fortitude, determination, and sheer humanity the face of seemingly impossible odds to save 100 Jewish children, traumatised by their extermination camp experience, to provide, by any means possible:food, shelter, love, hope and a future that includes their education and freedom from bigoted persecution from the surrounding Polish population is stunning, heartwarming and a testament to one woman’s courage to ensure that these children would grow up free of hate, hunger, and fear.
Evil in small town USA, Jerkwater, to quote a line from First Blood-a Stallone film-is a revelation of how one respected, but bigoted, teacher and town Mayor can warp history and corrupt the minds of teenagers with twisted lies about who caused WW2 and how the Jews were not slaughtered in the great numbers reported. One horrified mother stood up against this powerful man, against the opposition of the town, her husband, and her teenage son and took him to court and finally defeated him and his twisted distorted lies. An excellent fim showing how the influential can exert their beliefs on the, less well educated, and pervert truth and reality.
