Dan'l Craig plays a Jew in Belorussia in 1941 when the nazis take over. He and his brothers start hiding Jews in the woods to try and keep them alive. Hilarity ensues.
I didn't know much about the nazis pushing into Russia... most of what I know is from the movie Enemy at the Gates, and now this one. Sheeeit, I don't even really know what Belorussia is, or was. I either skipped that day of school or they never taught it. Public education taught me that Hitler tried to fight a land war in Asia in the winter and that went poorly, but I didn't know much about this aspect of the war. So if you like WW2 history, and "This is a true story," then you'll like this. It didn't say "Based" on a true story, it said it was true. So.
