 Macedonia for the Macedonians
"The Kresna Uprising took place in October 1878 in an utterly new situation; it was a reaction to the decisions of the Congress of Berlin and was greatly influenced by Russian victories in the war to liberate Bulgaria (1877-78), in which hundreds of Macedonians took part as volunteers.
The national and liberationist character of the uprising is clearly expressed in the programmatic document 'Constitution (Regulations) for the Macedonian Uprising Committee', and in the inscription on the seal 'Seal of the Chief of Staff of the Macedonian Uprising, 1878'.
The uprising was put down in June 1879 but it had further repurcussions in western Macedonia in the area between Bitola, Ohrid and Kicevo, in the Prespa region, the vicinity of Kostur, etc. The Osmanli reaction was brutal; many people were imprisioned, and even more were exiled, mainly to Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Uprising
Fortunately, Jon Avnet's 2001 television miniseries Uprising covers an historical topic yet to be filmed, and one that is inherently cinematic: the Warsaw resistance, which held off the Nazis longer than the Polish Army.
A fascinating bit of history, Uprising is one of the best made-for-television movies in recent memory, in a genre that's become a dying art.
On the first disc are two commentaries, one by director Avnet, the other by Azaria, Schwimmer, Voight, and (recorded separately) Sobeski, with the actor's track a little more playful, but it's obvious that the director and actors did their homework.

 Uprising (2001)
In Uprising, we see the manner in which the Nazis treat the Jewish prisoners isolated in the “Warsaw Ghetto” and observe as their leaders - mainly Adam Czerniakow (Donald Sutherland) - try to work with their oppressors to keep the whole group alive.
I suspect that Uprising would be rated “PG-13” were it to run theatrically, but since it originally aired on network TV, the material can be more explicit than one might expect.
Uprising appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.78:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
