'The Samuel Project'

This comedic, award-winning drama The Samuel Project is about a teenager (Ryan Ochoa) who gets to know his grandfather Samuel (Hal Linden) for the first time when he makes him the subject of a senior year animated art project.

With dreams of becoming a professional artist, the teen discovers that his grandpa, a Jewish dry cleaner, was heroically saved from Nazi capture in Germany by a young woman when he was a boy.

After hesitating, Samuel agrees to tell his story for the project—a story he hasn’t told in over 75 years. After decades, three generations of Eli’s family finally connect with one another.
