In 1943, Joseph Goebbels declared Berlin “free of Jews.” Though he did come markedly close to his goal, some 1,700 endured in secret. This gripping docu-drama traces the astonishingly-true stories of four young survivors who learned that sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight. Masterfully combining dramatic re-enactments with interviews, director Claus Räfle takes us inside the Berlin underground and alongside these rebellious teen heroes as they dodge Nazi officials and navigate a vast network of spies, stopping at nothing to evade capture. Brought to life by some of Germany’s most talented young actors, The Invisibles is a testament to the resourcefulness, willpower, and sheer chance that permit us to survive against incredible odds.
