Portrait of Harry | Trailer
Harry Somers kept a dark secret for much of his life: Harry fled Nazi Germany alone, the only one of his family to survive the Holocaust. He eventually made his way to America, where he discovered his own answer to hatred and brutality: painting. The film is an inspiring and joyous look at one man's journey, and the beauty he brought to so many.
