The Long March Home Veterans Day Celebration

  • Backpacks For Life 901 New Jersey 10 Whippany, NJ, 07981 United States (map)

In collaboration with the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Metrowest, we're excited to be hosting a viewing premiere of our documentary, The Long March Home, which tells the story of the life of Robert Max. Mr. Max is known to be the last surviving prisoner of war to have escaped Nazi slave labor. Unfortunately, he passed away at the end of 2020 but, we were so honored to have the opportunity to capture his incredible story of serving in the Army, being held captive, becoming free and going on to lead an incredible life of service and giving back to the community. 

The event will give you the opportunity to watch the entire documentary and attend our panel discussion with members from the veteran and Jewish community as well as the producer of the film. We can't wait to share more details as we get closer to the event! In the meantime, take a look at the documentary trailer here
