Life Is Strange(2012)

Life Is Strange is a documentary that captures the stories of Jewish survivors displaced by World War II. Rather than focusing on trauma, the film explores the vibrant cultural and family life these individuals experienced in their youth—moments that proved most formative to their identities. Through intimate interviews with notable figures including Israeli President Shimon Peres, Nobel laureates Walter Kohn and Robert Aumann, and children's author Uri Orlev, the film examines how childhood shapes us across a lifetime. It grapples with questions of self-identity, Jewish identity, and the lasting imprint of early experience on who we become. Life Is Strange reflects on what remains of our childhood selves as we age, offering a poignant meditation on memory, resilience, and the enduring power of formative years.
