: Defiance
Yet Another WWII movie, but this one I wanted to see because it tells a story we haven’t heard. This one is the true story of some Russian jews who set up camp in the forest to hide from the Nazi’s. It’s an incredible story, especially the stats at the end that reveal how many lives were saved by these men (the descendents of the survivors number in the tens of thousands). Much of the drama is predictable — cold weather, starvation, betrayal, tragedy — but it’s well done with excellent performances and compelling characters. Unfortunately, it still seems a tad dry and long, but it’s definitely worth seeing.
