The Fast Runner

When a young girl loses her father in an act of Nazi violence, she is angered by the compassion shown by her Rabbi towards their enemies. Later, facing the concentration camp gates, she must deny anger and embrace compassion in order to save the life of the Rabbi.

Directed by David Bercovici-Artieda, The Fast Runner leans on a strong ensemble — Alix West Lefler, Alex Poch-Goldin, Christopher Heyerdahl — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
