Quite extraordinary school project which undertook a life all of its own. These kids, who could be stereotyped themselves, reached beyond expectations to examine the lives and lost of Holocaust victims - Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies. Studdingly documented.
Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee is the setting for this documentary about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education. Struggling to grasp the concept of six-million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect six-million paper clips to better understand the extent of this crime against humanity. The film details how the students met Holocaust survivors from around the world and how the experience transformed them and their community.
