I Draw Them The Best I Can

Overview

In 1944 Germany invaded Hungary. Adam, a young Jewish-Hungarian boy was taken across the street to the house of his neighbours who agreed to hide him from the Nazis. He watched through the slats of the fence as his family was taken away. After being denounced and discovered he embarked on an incredible journey of survival. The film recounts Adam’s experiences, but also how these experiences have rippled through his family for generations, and how the process of making art—particularly comics—has allowed Adam to reimagine, grapple with, and heal from his childhood.
