Never Alone tells the gripping story of Jewish refugees seeking safety in Finland during World War II. As Nazi influence grows, the Finnish-Jewish businessman Abraham Stiller (Ville Virtanen, Netflix's Bordertown) risks everything to protect the refugee community. This powerful film showcases courage, resilience, and the fight for hope amidst overwhelming adversity.

Based on actual events during World War II, Never Alone shines a light on the plight of Jewish refugees seeking sanctuary in Finland and the unwavering hero who risked everything to protect them.

The Malvin and Greta Roesch International Jewish Film Festival is committed to bringing you a diverse and enriching cinematic experience from Jewish communities around the globe, featuring films that celebrate Jewish culture, heritage and stories told through the lens of film.

Join us on our journey as we bring together community through the power of international films that showcase the mutual interests of the Jewish spirit, culture, traditions and humor.
