During the making of this film, there were a few ‘mishaps”.  And perhaps a miracle or two… 

November 26, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The RED One has been described as the “Lamborghini” of digital film cameras; shooting in 4k resolution with a dynamic range close to that of traditional cameras, the RED prices at about $25,000, with all the necessary gadgets. And so, when a rented RED One was dropped on the second day of shooting the powerful pro-life short-film “Volition,” 22-year-old director Tim Morgan, and his younger brother and collaborator, Matthew, thought the game was up.

“At that point we thought we had to throw in the towel, because there was no way we could continue filming that day,” Tim Morgan told LifeSiteNews in a recent interview.  And with only three days to shoot scenes in three different locations depicting three different historical periods, the film was already on a tight, if not impossible, schedule. It was beginning to look as if Volition was not meant to be after all.

• BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS ****

Set in World War II Germany, it is the story of a family, a friendship and moral choices we all make. Bruno, an eight year old boy, comes home from school to find his mother preparing a celebration. His father, a soldier in the Nazi Military, has been promoted and the family will be leaving Berlin to live in the country. Bruno is devastated. His father, sworn to secrecy, tells the family that he will be overseeing a labour camp. The truth is much more horrible. Virtually in their backyard, is an extermination camp. Bruno is kept out of school, and his sister and he are instead taught by a tutor, a nazi sympathizer. He begins to indoctrinate Bruno and his sister in the ways of the “Final Solution” and the complete eradication of the Jewish People.

Through his window, Bruno see what he believes is a farm. In truth, it is the extermination camp. He mistakenly believes that the “farmers” are wearing striped pajamas. Bored, he sneaks out of the house, through the “forbidden” gate, and comes upon a boy, Shmuel, on the other side of a wire fence. Shmuel is also wearing “pajamas”.
