Imagine This

An inspirational story following the lives of ordinary people trapped in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland, 1942. Imagine This follows a group of actors in the Warsaw Ghetto as they stage a play to inspire hope within their community. However, with rumors of a Final Solution in the air, their play merges with the reality they are trying to escape, and a dramatic love story unfolds. Imagine This is a story about ordinary people—brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers—facing impossible choices and making heroic decisions.
