8:10 PM: Talk with the Producer

During World War II, Jews were collected from every corner of Nazi-occupied Europe and sent to concentration camps for extermination. Over 6 million Jews perished and thousands of Jewish communities throughout Europe were devastated, with one exception.

On the small Greek island of Zakynthos, every single member of the Jewish community survived the war unscathed. It was a unique occurrence in the chronicles of modern European history and one of the greatest untold stories of Greek bravery and courage. This 40-minute documentary is narrated by Haim Konstantini, an 84-year-old Holocaust survivor who was born and raised on the island of Zakynthos and one of the 275 survivors who made history during World War II.

Hence why the short documentary Life Will Smile and it's feature film narrative version Zante are Steven's most personal projects to date. Both films narrate the incredible and unique survival story of every single one of the 275 Jews of Zakynthos during World War II and highlight how, when we stay united, we can conquer even the darkest forces of our world.
