Tagline "Freedom begins with an act of defiance!"
Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belarussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters, and endeavour to build a village in order to protect themselves and about one thousand Jewish non-combatants.
Engrossing.
"Defiance may lack the sort of emotional punch that sticks, but its story of courage and responsibility is undeniably compelling."
—Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
