 ANNE FRANK; ON THE AIR
In an airless radio studio in Los Angeles, a group of 1940s radio actors are handed a new script about a Jewish girl and her family hiding from the Nazis. With no time to rehearse before going on the air, the immediacy of their emotions comes to the fore – not even realizing that the story they’re playing is true.
