7:30 pm: The Charlotte Jewish Film Festival Presents Never Alone.

Never Alone tells the gripping story of Jewish refugees seeking safety in Finland during WWII. As Nazi influence grows, a Jewish leader must risk everything to protect his community. This powerful film showcases courage, resilience, and the fight for hope amidst overwhelming adversity.

From the celebrated director Klaus Haro, known for My Sailor, My Love, and Oscar-shortlisted and Golden Globe-nominated The Fencer, comes a powerful, true story of resilience and defiance. 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.

Klaus Haro's film The Fencer (2015) was nominated for the Golden Globes as well as Oscar shortlisted in the Best Foreign Film Category. Elina (2003), Mother of Mine (2005), and Letters to Father Jacob (2009) were selected to represent his native country Finland in the Best Foreign Film Category at the Oscars. Altogether Haro's films have won more than 60 prizes at festivals all over the world including The Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and the prestigious Ingmar Bergman prize, the winner of which was chosen by Ingmar Bergman himself.
