麻豆约拍

When the Nazis close in on Warsaw, Dr Korczak and his children are forced to move into the ghetto stretching his pacifist ideals to the limit.

But the Doctor's values are threatened not only by Nazi regime, but by the arrival of a young Jewish boy who believes in fighting back.

Starring Alexander Morton.

Based on the true story of Janusz Korczak, best-selling children's novelist, paediatrician and social experimenter, who set up a Jewish Orphanage in Warsaw and ran it as a children's democracy.

Written by David Greig.
