Based on the true story of Holocaust survivor-turned watchmaker Wladyslaw "Walter" Wojnas (played by Stephen Tobolowsky), Watching Walter is a proof of concept short touching on several poignant moments in Wojnas' life. Set in both 1995 Philadelphia and World War II Nazi occupied Poland, it's a story of one man's triumph over tragedy.
