At age 12, Henri Parens escaped from the Holocaust and went on to become a globally recognized psychoanalyst. After surviving the unthinkable, he dedicated his life’s work to the prevention of prejudice through a simple mantra of raising one’s children with empathy. With her documentary Zaida, Sophie reframes one of the 20th century’s most horrific incidents while simultaneously celebrating her grandfather’s legacy. Zaida has premiered at the St. Louis International Film Festival and Chagrin Documentary Film Festival and has been selected for both of the festivals education initiatives, Cinema for Students and Illuminate Student Field Trip.
