Edie left a powerful legacy for us to learn from, to derive wisdom from, and to find resilience from.

A new documentary featuring Dr. Eger and her relationship with Iris Haim is another piece of that legacy.

The documentary is going to be released on Nov 17th through a worldwide viewing. Tickets can be purchased through The Choice Documentary website (see link in bio).

We hope you enjoy this story of hope resilience and forgiveness that Director John Coles created based on Edie’s bestselling book, The Choice.

With love,
Edith Eger Foundation by @thechoicedocumentary

“As a close friend of the Eger family, I have long been inspired by Edie’s remarkable journey and wanted to share her wisdom and resilience with modern-day audiences,” Coles told The Jewish Link.

“When I learned of Edie’s connection to another grieving mother, Iris Haim, I immediately recognized a powerful narrative that needed to be told. Their stories bridge past and present in a remarkable way, and I feel privileged to bring them to light."
