Itay Tiran, Andrzej Tkacz, Kamil Tkacz, Elisabeth DudaSrulik ist knapp neun Jahre alt, als ihm gerade noch rechtzeitig die Flucht aus dem Warschauer Ghetto gelingt. Um den deutschen Soldaten zu entkommen, flieht er in das riesige, unwegsame Waldgebiet Kampinoski und muss dort lernen, wie es ist, ganz auf sich allein gestellt in der Wildnis zu überleben. Wie man auf Bäumen schläft, Kleintiere jagt und sich von Beeren ernährt. Von einem unerschütterlichen Überlebensinstinkt getrieben, übersteht er die ersten Monate seiner Flucht. Doch die eisige Kälte des Winters und die unerträgliche Einsamkeit treiben den Jungen in die Zivilisation zurück.
Run Boy Run is the true story of Jurek, an eight-year-old boy, who escapes from the Warsaw ghetto, then manages to survive in the woods and working as a farmhand, disguising himself as a Polish orphan. He encounters people who will betray him for a reward, who will beat him up or try to kill him, and he meets those, who will do and risk almost everything to help him. Jurek’s resilience is put to the ultimate test, when an accident cripples him, making it harder to find work. But he struggles on against all odds. Eventually the Russians reach his area and Jurek even finds a family where he could stay. Yet he is betrayed again, and a young man from a Jewish orphanage forcefully tries to bring Jurek back to his people and his faith.
