ST. GEORGE — Students from Utah Tech University's digital film classes have banded together to produce a documentary about a Holocaust survivor.
The film, "Commit to Living a Life That Has Meaning — A Life That Matters," features 95-year-old Holocaust survivor Ben Lesser of Las Vegas.
The students volunteered to make the documentary without compensation and often with personal sacrifice.
"The level of commitment they have made to make this documentary should be shouted from the rooftops," film producer Ann T. Raskin told St. George News.
For example, Raskin said, some of the crew traveled from Blanding for 10 hours to Las Vegas for filming at least four times. Students donated their production expertise, expensive film equipment and adjusted already hectic college schedules.
