A TAILOR IN THE MAKING is a well-conceived documentary about how some artists who were forced into Nazi concentration camps managed to use their creativity to survive the harsh treatment and de-humanizing techniques of the Nazis. This underground art movement within the barbed wire and fences of the prisons produced some of the most heart-breaking and personal works of art ever made. The "tailor" in the film is Ben Altman, who survived 5 concentration camps in Poland. His skill as a tailor made him valuable to his captors and saved his life, but it was only when he was able to express his experiences through his painting that he felt truly alive. (73 min.)
