Movie Recommendation

Hi everyone!
I hope you are all having a great march break!

I would just like to quickly tell you all about a movie I saw last night.
It's called the boy in striped Pyjamas and it's about a two boys, one a German and the other a Jew that build a friendship over a wired fence during the time of the holocaust.



Description:

Young Bruno lives a wealthy lifestyle in Pre-war Germany along with his mother, elder sister, and army Commandant father. The family re-locate to the countryside where his father is assigned to commandeer a prison camp. A few days later, Bruno befriends another youth, strangely dressed in striped pajamas, named Shmuel who lives behind an electrified fence. Bruno will soon find out that he is not permitted to befriend his new friend as he is a Jew, and that the neighboring yard is actually a prison camp for Jews awaiting extermination.

Rated PG-13 for some mature thematic material involving the Holocaust.
Watch the trailer :
The movie is based on the book " The Boy in Striped Pajamas"written by: John Boyne.
