Hidden In Silence - Based on a True Story (1996)

Please get this on DVD

I love this movie! Kellie Martin and her Jewish foster family are terrific. The love that they show for each other is awesome. But please get this on DVD! The VHS copy I have makes buzzing sounds. January 31, 2007

This movie should be on dvd

as one reviewer said. It is a good history film that should be shown to many generations. Kellie Marin does a fine job of portraying the teenage girl who must raise her little sister on her own,plus take in 13 Jews which she manages to hide in her attic. The acting and writing are superb. I have one complaint though, I hated the lighting in the film...it was so dark and it made the quality look cheap, like a low budget film. Other that that, it is good and I appreciated the producers not allowing a ton of violence to be shown. It is not necessary; Hearing about the war was ugly enough. Since Schindlers' List isn't exactly appropraite for young children, this one makes a nice alternative. (They won't have nightmares for months later.)
P.S. Hey Kellie Martin fans, I heard on a Down Syndrom's website that LGO is going to be released this summer on dvd! I cannot wait to purchase it! If you have never seen it, I hope you will check it out this summer, you will not regret it. It changed my life. December 5, 2005

Should Have a DVD!

Kellie Martin is a remarkable actress and I can't believe that this movie isn't on DVD and many other movies that this marvelous actress has made! I think it's about time that this movie was made availabe for DVD and her other movies May 6, 2005

Superb Drama and it's True, too!!!

Kellie Martin shines in this fine adaptation of the story of the young Catholic Polish teenager who put her life on the line to save the Jews in her country. Faced with incredible odds, she trusted God to deliver them, and He answered her prayers.

The ensemble cast is magnificent, and what was really nice about the film was the fact that it was not very explicit in the violence against the Jews. You saw a few minor scenes, but it wasn't the point of the movie, anyway. If you want really explicit scenes, there's always Schinder's List, but that was a different story.

This is a really nice teaching tool for your older children, and provides a launching pad for a dialogue on the Holocaust.

Highly recommended!!! January 15, 2005
