On this Oscar-winning documentary, we see perhaps for the first time, the real girl, the whole girl, whose two years of hiding from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic are known to the world through her diary. The remembrance is done through on-camera interviews with a rich source of persons who knew Anne as a feisty, opinionated free spirit, and also those who met the Frank family in the death camps.
Through fleshing out the portrait of this one small girl suffering as millions did, the director, Jon Blair makes her story at once more personal and vastly universal.
