This is the story of my great-grandmother, Sara Pollak. I am a young film maker who wants to entertain an audience, but also make them think and feel. Sara's life is a fascinating tale of resiliency that begins with the challenges of poverty and suffering and grows into a fruitful life due to the strength and love of family. Whether you or someone you know lived a similar life or not, there is something for just about everyone to connect with. My goal as a film maker was to make her life interesting to those who do not know her. I hope you feel I have accomplished this.
