“You think you know your mother until you don’t,” says filmmaker and journalist Marisa Fox, who grew up believing that her mother fled her native Poland in the 1930s to become part of a radical Jewish underground group in Palestine. When a distant relative told her in 2010 “your mother had a hidden identity. You’re not going to be happy with what you find.” Fox began what would become a relentless 15-year-mission to uncover the truth. Racing against time to track down witnesses around the world, she uncovered harrowing but important truths about involving Nazi-run forced labor camps for women. Fox tells a riveting story that is at once deeply personal and historically essential. (USA, 2025, 86 mins. English, German, Hebrew, Polish, Yiddish, Czech with English subtitles | Dir. Marisa Fox)
