"I Am Here" tells South African Holocaust survivor Ella Blumenthal’s remarkable story, starting with her youth in Poland where she witnessed the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and was imprisoned in the Majdanek, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. Filmed as Blumenthal celebrated her 98th birthday with family and friends in South Africa, "I Am Here" showcases Blumenthal’s magnetic personality and uses hand-drawn animations to illustrate stories from her life.

"I Am Here" is director Jordy Sank's first feature documentary. Jordy was inspired to make the film after growing up alongside Ella, listening to her heart-wrenching stories of perseverance, resilience, and strength.

This program features a discussion with Blumenthal and Sank.
