Synopsis

This excellent, disturbing and informative Austrian drama is a fictionalised version of a true, neglected chapter from World War II. One of the Germans' plans for undermining the allied war effort was to flood the British economy with counterfeit currency and the central character is an experienced forger who also happens to be Jewish. When he finds himself in a concentration camp he is offered the appalling choice between certain death or working on these forgeries.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
