OSCAR SPOTLIGHT - JoJo Rabbit

Published January 23, 2020 at 4:36 PM CST

Our #OscarSpotlight series continues with a look at the most original, infuriating and quite possibly brilliant film of the year with Taika Waititi's #JojoRabbit. A young boy in Hitler's army finds out his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home.
