PELHAM, NY (October 30, 2025) — The Picture House plans a special screening of the documentary “UnBroken” one week from Thursday. The event takes place Thursday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. at The Picture House Pelham.
“UnBroken” marks the debut of former Pelham resident Beth Lane. A post-film Q&A will feature Lane. Joe Neumaier, TPH Film Club host and veteran film critic, will lead the discussion.
Originally titled “Would You Hide Me?”, the project began in 2018 as a play, evolved into a monologue, and became the documentary UnBroken. Lane narrates the film and founded the Weber Family Arts Foundation to combat antisemitism and honor her family’s legacy.
Beth Lane is a filmmaker, actress, director, producer, writer, and activist whose feature directorial debut is the 2025 documentary “UnBroken.” She is the daughter of Bela Weber (nicknamed Ginger), the youngest of seven Jewish siblings who, as children ages 6–18, escaped Nazi Germany after their mother was incarcerated and murdered at Auschwitz. The siblings evaded capture and death through their cunning and the kindness of German strangers, becoming the only known family of seven Jewish siblings in Nazi Germany to survive together and emigrate to the United States in 1946.
Lane is a former resident of Pelham, New York, where she and her husband bought their first house and started their family; their eldest son had his Bar Mitzvah at the Pelham Jewish Center.
The venue described the film in a social media post as “a powerful true survival story” and “a deeply personal debut. “UnBroken” is more than a film — it’s a cinematic act of remembrance and resilience, calling audiences to empathy and action in a time of rising hate.
