Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - As part of their Every Tuesday Movie Night film series, the Costa Banderas Chapter of Democrats Abroad will present "In Darkness" on March 12th, at 7 pm at Puerto Vallarta's Paradise Community Center. The 2012 film was nominated for an Oscar has won 6 film festival awards.
In Darkness
Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in the German-occupied city of Lvov, Poland, encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto and hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town's sewers. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews, as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha's conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as the men, women, and children in hiding all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger. In Darkness was filmed on location in Poland and Germany.
