THE CHOICE
When her son is killed by the IDF, Iris Haim’s search for meaning leads her to Dr. Edith Eger, an Auschwitz survivor whose story reshapes Iris’s path to healing. THE CHOICE, directed by John David Coles, is a life-affirming documentary about trauma, survival, and the radical power of choice.
THE CHOICE is a documentary about two women subjected to profound trauma, and the choices they make on their paths to healing. After her son’s tragic death, Iris Haim finds an unexpected source of comfort in Dr. Edith Eger, renowned psychologist and author, and Auschwitz survivor. Although separated by generations, Edie’s story leads Iris on a transformative journey during her moment of greatest need.
