Summary
INSIDE HANA'S SUITCASE tells the present-day story of a group of Japanese children, and how their passionate and tenacious teacher, Fumiko Ishioka, helped them solve the mystery of Hana Brady, whose name was painted on an old battered suitcase that they received from the notorious Polish death camp, Auschwitz. Through contemporary young storytellers who act as the omniscient narrators, we are seamlessly transported through 70 years of history across three continents, and told a story of unspeakable sadness and shining hope. Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Larry Weinstein, INSIDE HANA'S SUITCASE is a powerful journey full of mystery and memories brought to life through the first-hand perspectives of Hana's surviving brother George, and of Hana herself
