About film
In an era where the heart rending accounts of Holocaust survivors dwindle to mere echoes, the East City Films team wants to preserve these important stories for future generations. The team collaborates with the Holocaust Museum and Educational Center in Illinois. «Letters from Drancy» is an emblem of the quest to innovate through Virtual Reality. This isn't simply a VR film, it's a way to preserve the memory of events that changed the course of history. The museum supports the use of virtual reality to rethink history. Far from being just another retelling, the film endeavors to provide audiences with an intimate understanding of her lived experiences and trials.
