Confined within the walls of the Warsaw ghetto, Dr. Janusz Korczak
struggles to protect the children at his orphanage from the horrors of
the Second World War. There is not enough food or pairs of eyes to keep
watch over them. Between a trouble-making thief, an abandoned girl, a
malnourished boy, and a violin prodigy, Janusz has his hands full, but
together they fight for beauty and hope in the world crumbling in around
them.
Based on the WWII advocacy work of Dr. Janusz Korczak, The Children's
Republic is a reminder of the hope that can still be found in a world
devoid of freedom and the necessities of life.
