Granny Project

Granny Project, a seven year long investigation of three young men coming to terms with their heritage through the extraordinary lives of their grandmothers: an English spy, a dancer from Nazi Germany and a Hungarian communist Holocaust survivor. Granny Project is about questions no one dares to ask and answers that lay deep under appearances. Although quirky, this story is simultaneously emotional and honest. Explicitly an unconventional intergenerational dialogue that aims to understand the heritage of Second World War generations to younger counterparts.
