The Keeper tells the incredible true story of Bert Trautmann (David Kross), a German soldier and prisoner of war who, against a backdrop of British post-war protest and prejudice, secures the position of Goalkeeper at Manchester City, and in doing so becomes a footballing icon. His signing causes outrage to thousands of fans, many of them Jewish. But Bert receives support from an unexpected direction: Rabbi Alexander Altmann, who fled the Nazis. Bert’s love for Margaret (Freya Mavor), an Englishwoman, carries him through and he wins over even his harshest opponents by winning the 1956 FA Cup Final, playing on with a broken neck to secure victory. But fate will soon twist the knife for Bert and Margaret, when their love and loyalty to each other is put to the ultimate test. View the trailer here! 

How does a virtual film festival work?

• The film will have a 72 hour viewing period from February 11, 7pm - February 14, 7pm. You must watch the film during the viewing period. 
• You will receive a link and password to view the film 24 hours before the screening period starts. Be sure to check your Spam folder. 
• Upon purchasing a ticket, you will view a confirmation page with links to register the Zoom discussion. The discussion is free, but you must register with the link to take part in the post-film discussion. 
• Internet speed is essential to home-viewing. If you haven't streamed movies at home before, we recommend running a speed test for your internet at https://www.speedtest.net to make sure you can easily stream the film. The minimum download speed is 10Mbps, but we recommend 25-35Mbps for optimal viewing. Additional information about streaming is available at our website, https://www.abqjewishfilmfest.com.
