Fighting to safeguard the lives and innocence of young children, particularly during times of worldwide war, is a daunting task for many people. The process is even more challenging when the protector is a child themself. That’s certainly the case for the eponymous character of the new war movie, ‘Dara iz Jasenovca.’
Dara’s arduous journey to save the lives of the two young boys she’s been caring for is highlighted in the historical drama, which personalizes the untold story of the title violent Holocaust-era concentration camp complex. ‘Dara iz Jasenovca’ is the first feature film that sheds light on a part of history that has been mainly concealed from the public eye. Even to this day, there’s controversy over how many lives were actually taken at Jasenovac.

Overseen by vicious emissaries of the fascist Ustase government, the camp was used to murder Serbs, Jews and Roma people—and re-educating the few children deemed worthy of rehabilitation. As unspeakable atrocities unfold all around her, young Dara must summon tremendous courage to protect her infant brother from a terrible fate, to safeguard her own survival and to plot a precarious path toward freedom.
