Moishe – A Short Film is based on the untold true story of the Cantonists and it is a project of a gifted filmmaker, Maya Katherine Cooper. This short emotional drama explores the forgotten Jewish history of the Cantonists, young Jewish boys kidnapped from their homes and forced to convert to Christianity before serving 25 years in the army. To share this untold story with the world, Maya has recently launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and she is welcoming generous support and backing.
“The true story of Moishe Gralnick took place in the Russian Empire in the 1800s, and it is the first time ever that it is being documented in the form of a short filmroughly 20 minutes long.” Said Maya Katherine Cooper, while introducing this project to the Kickstarter community. “The story of the Cantonists has been buried and forgotten by history and with this short film, we are bringing it back into the light for the whole world.” She added. According to the UK based filmmaker, the film is about faith, perseverance, and endurance, and it will inspire the next generations of humanity and people from all faiths.
The Kickstarter Campaign is located on the web at:
