Defiance

Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belarussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and about 1,000 Jewish non-combatants.
Critic Reviews:
- " The kind of big, old-fashioned prestige entertainment Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to do. " – Matthew Lucas
- " Bielski's extraordinary achievement is fairly and finely rendered… " – Timothy Snyder
- " The actors are compelling. And Director Edward Zwick inflects the material with his trademark mix of moral zeal and high adventure, as in previous epics like Glory, Legends of the Fall and Blood Diamond. " – Brian D. Johnson
