Lawyer Harley Breite, descendant of Holocaust survivors, at the site of the Mielec labor camp, during the the shoot of the feature documentary film Scars We Carry directed by Jean-Cosme Delaloye. A man is touching the fence of a former Nazi camp.

Synopsis

Whether it's representing murderers in New Jersey courtrooms or facing off against MMA fighters in the ring, Harley's life has revolved around violence for decades. As he's become more acutely aware of his mortality, Harley becomes more introspective about the genesis of his fascination with barbarity. With the help of two gurus, one a rabbi, the other a former Israeli Defense Force officer, he realizes that the scars his father and grandfather carried since the Holocaust are his too.

Release

Currently in post-production. Planned release in 2023.
