In Darkness (2011)


A based on true events story about a Polish plumber who hid a group of Jews in the sewers for over a year during WWII. This, like other movies of this type, is not an easy movie to watch. The film is well put together, not overly graphic, and emotionally challenging. While it doesn't have the scope of Schindler's List or the double fisted emotional pounding of The Grey Zone, nor the qualities of character of Return to the Hiding Place, it none the less is powerful film making and deserves to be seen. If the way some of the characters behaved is accurate its a wonder the Polish guy didn't shoot them himself. Recommended.
