It not only includes interviews from survivors who knew her, it also looks into never before seen family letters, new photographs and even archival footage. This is all combined with historically accurate recreations of the attic where the refugee Frank family spent two years hiding from the Nazis. Together it all provides a fascinating look into Anna's daily life. At the end, the filmmakers then examine Otto Frank's efforts to preserve his daughter's memory and to keep alive her message of peace. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, Variety
New insignts about Anne's spicy personality and immense curiosity are revealed by Holocaust survivors Hanneli Goslar and particularly Miep Gies, an office employee of Anne's father who was one of the main helpers to the families in hiding.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Just when you might well have thought that pretty much all had been said and done about Anne Frank, this film makes us realize how much there still is to know about her and her times.
Tom Keogh, Film.com
Remarkable, deeply moving work that attempts to answer the haunting question, Who was Anne Frank?
John Hartl, Film.com
Of all the movies and television productions that have told her story, this is the most valuable and satisfying.
Carrie Gorringe, Film.com
Anne Frank Remembered tells the audience very little about Anne, but the film speaks volumes concerning the problematic aspects of Holocaust representation.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In the film's most extraordinary discovery, we see the only existing film footage of Anne Frank, taken one day in 1941, before the Franks went into hiding.
Scott G. Mignola, Common Sense Media
Powerful look at the Holocaust through teen eyes.
Gary Brown, Houston Community Newspapers
A great documentary selection for college film series audiences.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Pays tribute to her heroic spirit which stands for all the Jewish youth who were never allowed to grow up and savor the fullness of life.
