Nate Leipciger - The Weight of Freedom from The Azrieli Series Short Films.
"You cannot have hate in your heart without being hateful against yourself. And that's the big problem - when you are hateful, you become bitter, you resent everything and that becomes part of your nature.... There is a difference between hating and holding them responsible. They are two different things. I don't have to like them, but I don't hate them. Because hate will destroy the person doing the hating."
Nate Leipciger
Nate Leipciger, a thoughtful, shy eleven-year-old boy, is plunged into an incomprehensible web of ghettos, concentration and death camps during the German occupation of Poland. As he struggles to survive, he forges a new, unbreakable bond with his father and yearns for a free future. But when he is finally liberated, the weight of his pain will not ease, and his memories remain etched in tragedy. Introspective, complicated and raw, The Weight of Freedom is Nate’s journey through a past that he can never leave behind.
