The Shepherd

by Laszlo Illes (Drama and History)
Executive Producer Update: Best Script and Actress at Scandinavian International Film Festival August 2019.
It is a historical drama taking place in Hungarian territory occupied by the Nazi’s in 1944.
The film’s essence tackles ordinary people risking all to do right. The film is a tribute to everyday unsung heroes and their selfless sacrifices for mankind, as their character did not allow passivity in the midst of terror. There is still a need today for unsung heroes to risk all
for a greater good or something bigger than themselves.
