The Movie
In 1939, Nazi Germany declares war on freedom and demands conformity from it's youth. But a group calling themselves Swing Kids rebel with their "swing" music from America. When two of them dare to stand up against the powerful forces around them - traditions will be broken and loyalties must be crossed! Robert Sean Leonard (Dead Poets Society) and Christian Bale (Empire of the Sun) deliver gripping performances as two friends who must choose between their individual freedom or loyalty to the murderous Third Reich. Swing Kids is a inspirational and powerful story about friendship - and finding the courage to fight for what you believe in!
