 dOc DVD Review: Uprising (2001)
With the release of Uprising, originally made for NBC and aired during the November 2001 sweeps, my thoughts were changed, as this Jon Avnet picture packs as powerful a message as any film released in theaters in years.
Uprising tells the story of a group of Jewish resistance fighters who fought back against oppression at the cost of many lives, but their struggle, in retrospect, saved twice as many.
While Uprising is certainly not the best film to deal with this terrible subject matter (both Schindler's List and SHOAH are infinitely better), it certainly deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as those films.
