Jojo Rabbit

In the latter stages of World War II, young Johannes ‘JoJo’ Betzler lives with his mother in Nazi Germany. A budding patriot, he is part of the Hitler Youth, and with his father off fighting the Allies, and his sister recently deceased, he keeps company by talking to his imaginary friend – a crude and childish interpretation Adolf Hitler.

Despite his efforts to fit in, JoJo is clearly not a Nazi. When he discovers his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their house, he begins to question the extreme ideology he’s dedicated his life to.

This satirical black comedy will have you laughing out loud while also offering up a few shocking moments. But at its heart is a tale about how, even during the darkest of times, our humanity can shine through and triumph over evil.
