Uprising

After Germany invades Poland in 1939, the Nazis decree that 350,000 Warsaw Jews be forcibly moved into an area known as the Warsaw Ghetto. Idealistic teacher Mordechai (Hank Azaria) decides the Jews must rise up against the Nazis and creates the Jewish Fighting Organisation (JFO). Determined to mobilise a resistance against the Nazis, Mordechai recruits his friends (David Schwimmer, Sadie Frost, Donald Sutherland) who are determined to live with honour, die with honour and provide hope for those fighting in other German-occupied territories. This World War II miniseries is an action-packed, moving account of a time in history that should not be forgotten

    Thought Provoking

    The best film i've seen for ages, brilliantly made, good cast and very thought provoking. Actually felt I was living through it, watched it twice. I would recomend this

    Uplifting

    A fantastically acted script which, despite its slow start, bought out the true horror of what it was like in Poland at the time. Twenty minutes in, it was gripping and I was unable to turn away from the screen
