Linked

When a swastika shows up on the wall of the only middle school in the small town of Chokecherry, Colorado, everyone wants to know who did it. Was it Michael, one of the few students of color in the school? Was it Link, the popular athlete whose pranks sometimes go too far? Or was it Pouncey, whose grandfather was rumored to be a part of the local chapter of the KKK decades ago? In the midst of all of it, Dana, the only Jewish girl in school, feels singled out and totally confused. Meanwhile, Link learns that his grandmother’s parents left her in a French orphanage before they were deported to a concentration camp. She was raised without any knowledge of her Jewish heritage, but when Link learns about it, he decides to have a bar mitzvah. When more swastikas show up despite ongoing tolerance education, the kids decide to make six million paper links to represent the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. When a popular social media star comes to document Chokecherry’s drama and the town’s painful history, people from all over the community and the country step in to help them reach their goal.
