This 1959 Academy Award winning adaptation brings Anne's voice to the screen with extraordinary care and humanity. It does not look away from the terror of what was happening outside the annex walls. But it keeps returning to the extraordinary interior life of one young girl who refused to let that terror define everything.
 
For any viewer living through their own unsafe world, Anne's story reaches across eighty years and says: I was here too. I was afraid too. And I kept writing. I kept believing. I kept being fully, defiantly alive.
