Defiance

The weekend of February 27, 2009 - March 1, 2009 we will be showing Defiance, starring Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell.

In 1941 the Nazis occupied Belarus. The Bielskis lived in Nowogrodek, which the Nazis turned into a Jewish Ghetto. Most of the Bielski family were killed in the occupation. Four brothers, who fled to the woods they had roamed while they were growing up, survived. Tortured by remorse, Tuvia, the eldest brother, swears to avenge his family by rescuing as many Jews as he can from the Nazis and sheltering them in the forest. Eventually over 1200 men, women, and children are in his charge.

This film is based on the true story of the Bielskis and their fight to protect their neighbors and defeat the Nazis.
