A Great Big Secret (2024) NYJFF 2025


This is a great little film about Anita Magnus Frank who was a hidden child during the Second World War.  Frank was born in 1936 and was spirited away  a few years later so she could live under a new name. It was only decades later that she began to tell the story of her real life.

This is an important tale of families broken apart in the hope that someone would survive. Frank not only survived but thrived in the best sort of a way.  It’s a wonderfully compact film, it runs just over 12 minutes, and would make a great feature film.

Highly recommended.
