Nowhere in Africa

Nirgendwo in Afrika

An Oscar-winning love story spanning two continents, NOWHERE IN AFRICA is the extraordinary true tale of a Jewish family who flees the Nazi regime in 1938 to a remote farm in Kenya. Abandoning their once-comfortable existence in Germany, Walter Redlich, his wife Jettel and their five-year-old daughter Regina each deal with the harsh realities of their new life in different ways. As they eventually learn to cherish their life in Africa, they also endeavor to find a way back to each other.

Winner of the 2002 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, as well as five 2002 German Film Awards, including best film, director and cinematography, NOWHERE IN AFRICA is based on the best-selling autobiographical novel by Stefanie Zweig.
