**"The Island on Bird Street"** is a 1997 war drama film directed by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen. The movie is based on a semi-autobiographical book by Israeli author Uri Orlev. It tells the story of **Alex**, an 11-year-old Jewish boy who hides in the ruins of the Warsaw #Ghetto during World War II after his family is sent to concentration camps. With only his pet mouse, Snow, for company, Alex must learn to survive on his own, facing the dangers and horrors of war.
It's a powerful and emotional film that highlights themes of courage, resilience, and survival through the eyes of a child.
