Bionic Buzz® covered the red carpet of world benefit premiere of the documentary “999-The Forgotten Girls” at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA. The event featured a red carpet and after the screening a Q&A with moderators Tiffany Haddish and Director Heather Macadam.
“999 – The Forgotten Girls”, which chronicles the untold story of 999 Slovak girls betrayed by their government. It is based on the best-selling book of the same name by the internationally renowned writer Heather Dune Macadam. These unmarried, mostly teenage girls were promised that if they volunteered for “work” they would be fulfilling their patriotic duty. Excited, the girls packed their bags for an adventure. Instead, in the spring of 1942, Slovakia became the first Axis partner to “relocate” Jewish residents. Under the cloak of deceit, these innocent girls bid farewell to their families and were deported to Auschwitz via a one-way ticket. Those who survived endured more than three years of persecution. A number of these survivors are featured in our film. Who were these young women? Why were they chosen? How did a handful survive over three years in the death camps? https://www.999themovie.com/
