WHO OWNS ANNE FRANKS STORY?
Sid Silver is a man obsessed. When he learns about a young girl named Anne Frank and her diary, Silver makes it his mission to ensure her tale is heard. But is the manuscript a work of art? A cultural treasure? Or simply a valuable product? As he fights for the diarys publication and the rights to adapt it into a play, Silvers idealism turns to fanaticism, and his good intentions may prove to be his undoing. A fascinating, semi-fictional story about one forgotten writers battle for one extraordinary girls diary.
"Absorbing... a fascinating, multilayered tale." The New York Times
