  1. Some stories are more compellingly told than others, but all, like Trank's film, are deserving of attention.
  2. Goes beyond the well-documented Warsaw Ghetto uprising to take a fascinating look at seven lesser-known individual paths to resistance.

    Much of the time, unfortunately, the responsible, institutional filmmaking of Unlikely Heroes, from Moriah Films, an arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, does not do full justice to these stories.

    Certainly fascinating, with amazing footage, but it is a bit tedious at times. Fine narration, good interviews. It is good as an interesting different perspective on the holocaust era. Expand
