Prisoner of Her Past

Kartemquin Films and award-winning journalist Howard Reich are in production on a documentary feature based on “Prisoner of Her Past,” a searing article written by Reich and published in the Chicago Tribune as a special section of the newspaper on Nov. 30, 2003. The article recounts Howard’s journey to Dubno, in Ukraine, where he reconstructs the harsh childhood of his mother, Sonia, who began running and hiding from the Nazis when she was 10 years old during the Second World War and who now suffers from late-onset post-traumatic stress disorder.
