Dancing Before The Enemy: How a teenage boy fooled the Nazis and lived

2014, USA and Poland, Director/Producer: Adam Bardach; 63 min.

Film producer Gene Gutowski (Repulsion, Cul-de-Sac, The Pianist) was fourteen when the Soviets, then the Nazis invaded his hometown of Lwow, Poland. With a combination of chutzpah, street smarts, and an unflinching will to live, he spent the war flirting with danger as a teenage Jew hiding in plain sight. A true story of hope recounted with humor and pathos.
