Why watch this film?
The filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter Terry Lee Coker has been ostentatiously dedicated to talking about Auschwitz from various angles. In 'The Guard of Auschwitz', the filmmaker spoke about the famous concentration camp from the perspective of a Nazi guard. In 'The Angel of Auschwitz', the director went into the realm of fantasy by talking about how a death angel was confronted by the angel of life. Now, in 'The Escape from Auschwitz', Coker delves into the fictional story of a man struggling to escape death in the Nazi concentration camp. For most of the specialized critics and the audience, this is already one of the worst films of 2020 -- it's no wonder, after all, the very low rating on IMDb. The actors are bad, the sets are precarious, and the whole story doesn't make much sense. But for those who want a production about Nazism and World War II that breaks away from the standards and fits something outside the US mainstream, they can find here a space to travel and seek new perspectives. Is it bad? Without a doubt. But maybe it's good to embark on this independent and low-cost view of the greatest conflict in history.

The Guard of Auschwitz
In 'The Guard of Auschwitz', we find something uncommon in films about the Jewish Holocaust during World War II, in a narrative that seeks to distance itself from sentimentality. Although we see evil antagonists and their victims, the key lies in the relationship between the protagonists, a hero willing to fight to rescue two lives against all odds and a martyr who sees a fatal destiny that is increasingly difficult to escape.
