The first fully-rounded portrait of the Frank family's brash and free-spirited daughter, ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED features previously unreleased archival material including vintage newsreels, never-before-seen photographs, personal family letters and even a rare home movie of Anne herself to look beyond the celebrated pages of Anne's diary. The film documents the comprehensive history of the Frank family focusing on the spiritual girl whose diary of her two years in hiding in her father's office building during WWII in Amsterdam has sold over 25 million copies in 54 languages since it was first published in 1947. Also in surprising, often emotional contemporary interviews with Anne's family, friends and her heroic protector Miep Gies, Anne's life serves once more as an unforgettable symbol of, and tribute to, the many lives lost in the Holocaust.
The triumphant portrait and historic story of a young World War II hero with her timeless indomitable spirit, ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED was written and directed by award-winner Jon Blair (Schindler: The Documentary), as the first documentary to have been made in direct co-operation with the Anne Frank House and Museum organization.
