Who Will Write Our History
#WhoWillWriteOurHistory
It is a story about who gets to tell the story.
It is about a group of spiritual resistors who risked their lives so that the truth would survive, even if they did not.
Resistance comes in many forms. A clandestine group of journalists, scholars, and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto defied the Nazis with the ultimate weapon – the truth – and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not. Now, for the first time, their story is told in the documentary featuring the voices of three-time Academy Award® nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody.
The film is subtitled and available in English, Polish, Hebrew, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and closed captioned.
