Gerron’s Last Film

Inspired by the true story of Kurt Gerron, one of the most famous Jewish actors and directors in pre-Nazi Germany (and the original performer of the song “Mack the Knife” from Brecht’s Threepenny Opera). Unlike his friends Fritz Lang and Marlene Dietrich, Gerron refused to leave Germany and was ultimately sent to the Theresienstadt (Terezin) Ghetto, along with many other cultural icons of his time. When Gerron arrives, the camp commander Karl Rahm (stating that he is a huge fan of his work) orders Gerron to direct a propaganda film about the camp, to show the “luxurious” conditions to the world. With no choice in the matter, Gerron embarks on what will be his last film, trying to give his fellow prisoners fleeting moments of humanity in the process.
