SYNOPSIS: Based loosely on the book "Childhood" by physicist Jona Oberski, Look to the Sky depicts a hope-filled view of the Holocaust from the perspective of a young Dutch boy, Jonah, who spends much of his childhood behind the bars of a Nazi concentration camp.  Only through strength and perseverance does he emerge from this hell-on-Earth and actually grow up.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  Look to the Sky was released in 1993, around the same time as another Holocaust-era picture, Schindler's List.  Although this film doesn't portray concentration camp living quite as graphically as Schindler's List does, Look to the Sky certainly draws viewers into the story and gives a pretty good impression of what it must have been like during one of the darkest periods humanity has ever known.  The music, composed by Academy Award® winner Ennio Morricone, adds so much emotion to the picture.  Add this film to your library; you won't regret it.
