THE CROSSING
Directed by Johanne Helgeland

Philadelphia Premiere
On a cold, snowy Christmas Eve in Norway in 1942, 10-year-old Gerda (Anna Sofie Skarholt), an imaginative and headstrong young girl, and her older brother, Otto (Bo Lindquist-Ellingsen), prepare for the holiday. They have no idea that a knock on the door is about to change their lives forever. Following the arrest of their parents, they discover that their mother and father have been working for the Norwegian resistance and hiding two Jewish children, Sarah and Daniel, in their home. Precocious and brave, Gerda takes control of the situation. There is no doubt in her mind that the Nazis will be back at the house sniffing around before too long. She decides that with the enemies fast approaching, the safest path to take is the one that will lead the children to neutral Sweden. If they survive the perilous journey ahead of them, Sarah and Daniel might have a chance to be reunited with their beloved parents.

THE CROSSING demonstrates that children, like adults, have the power to shape their world and make it better. Courage can be summoned at any age – all of us have the capacity to make a difference.
