Beyond the Film

With teens as the lead heroes, THE CAVE is the very best story about the Holocaust to reach a younger generation since Anne Frank. So we will make this story theirs by engaging multinational groups of young people via a hands-on “Outward Bound”- type experience in Ukraine. After filming is complete, small groups of “young ambassadors” will help bring out artifacts still left in the cave, and then communicate their experience through social media.

Exploration, History, Caving, Geology, Biology

A sophisticated interactive website featuring 3-D imaging of Blue Lakes Cave will allow visitors to fully experience the world the survivors created underground. The website will allow visitors to explore and learn about a variety of subjects that are key to the film. The website will feature adventure survival (including the biology of underground survival), cave exploration, the geology and biology of caves, the history of World War II on the eastern front, and finally contemporary genocide and the Holocaust.

Along with the website, we will create educational materials for elementary and high school history and science courses.

In addition, we are creating a traveling photography and artifact exhibition for museums and major community centers in North America, Ukraine, Russia, and Europe that will bring a few of the objects and the story to a variety of communities. We currently have several major institutions on board.
