In Darkness Film Screening & Discussion

The film In Darkness is based on the true story detailed in The Girl in the Green Sweater. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi-occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What begins as a cynical business arrangement turns into an unexpected, unlikely alliance between Socha and “his” Jews, as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha’s conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger.
