It's not too late to mourn, And not too soon to replenish. In Redemption Blues, a feature-length documentary shot in New York, Vienna, Oswiecim, and Bethlehem, director Peter Stastny engages with several outspoken Holocaust survivors whose lives have been shaped by their experiences from more than 70 years ago.

In the end, we see these people as leaders and visionaries in moments of homecoming, renewal and progression, not merely as captives of their past. See less
