This essential documentary tells the stories of the Jewish partisans who took up arms against Hitler’s war machine, rising up against Nazism and brutality. Against extraordinary odds, over 25,000 Jewish Partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the primeval forests of Eastern Europe. These determined men and women, many barely in their teens, engaged in acts of sabotage, blowing up trains, burning electric stations, and attacking armed enemy headquarters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, the last surviving partisans tell their stories to director Julia Mintz who shines a spotlight on their bravery through a fusion of inspiring and powerful first-person interviews, family photographs and rare archival footage. FOUR WINTERS is a stunning, heartfelt narrative of heroism and resilience.
