		First, she began to make the film the centerpiece of her organizing efforts, which led her to understand how powerful film could be, particularly when narrated by the voices of working-class people similar the ones she was trying to reach.
		The film’s impact on the textile manufacturing elite is not clear, but publicity about the film’s production may have been responsible for the manufacturers association’s decision to produce a film portraying their own version of regional labor movement history.
		In a few cases, exposure to the film stimulated individual citizens to research how their own community was affected by the 1934 strike, which in turn led to awareness of other strikes and labor union activity in the 1930s and later.

		The film originates from an autobiographical script by one of the student leaders, Seksan Prasertkul, and also draws on the director’s experiences as a reporter at the time of the uprising.
		The film opens with a documentary-style reconstruction of the demonstrations, neatly combining archive footage with staged scenes, some of which were filmed at the actual locations.
		The Moon Hunter is a surprising film in many ways: surprising in that a film with this subject matter could be produced in the mainstream; surprising that such subject matter could be made into engaging drama; and surprising that the film should come from Bhandit, a film maker so well-known for traditional comedies.

		The credibility of the film is lost when the general Polish population is displayed with disconcern when the ghetto burned as exhibited during the communion service in the Catholic Church.
		The film falsely depicts the Polish population as well-fed and prosperous under the German occupation while the ghetto suffered.
		However, the producers of "Uprising" resorted to degrade the immense sacrifice of the Poles to elevate the suffering in the Warsaw Ghetto.

	Uprising of 34a
		For example, in certain circumstances a film might have a concrete effect on social behavior—if not audiences’ rising up at the end of a screening and taking to the streets, then perhaps community activists’ using screenings as a tool in local communities, or elites’ introducing legislation to address an issue that a film had raised.
		The Uprising of ’34 originated from a request made to Stoney from the “Consortium on the General Textile Strike of 1934,” a loose association of scholars, organizers, and union activists who were interested in labor history and who wanted a film produced on the 1934 textile strike.
		Funding for the film came from a large number of organizations, including the MacArthur Foundation, the Southern Humanities Media Fund, several state humanities councils, a variety of unions, the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, and the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and it was ultimately presented on TV through the Independent Television Service (ITVS).

	Uprising (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It was the first American film to dramatize the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of 1943, during which an underground collective of Polish Jews dared to defy the Nazis.
		The uprising was eventually crushed (some heartbreaking outcomes are listed in the closing credits), but director Jon Avnet expertly maintains a sense of courage and hope amidst the palpable horror of the Warsaw Ghetto.
		"Uprising" tells the true story of the unprecedentedly active resistance of an organized underground movement of Polish Jews in the Warsaw ghetto against the extermination of its inhabitants by the German occupying forces in 1943.

	Uprising (2001) - A Review by David Nusair
		Uprising documents their initial willingness to go along with the Nazi regime, which eventually turns into rebellion as they witness various atrocities committed by Hitler's thugs.
		The one-sided nature of the film is necessary, I suppose, given the extraordinary amount of people murdered under their regime.
		Uprising, though flawed in a lot of ways, is still worth checking out if only to learn about a true-life inspirational tale.

		The Council commends the filmmakers of NBC's two-part mini-series "Uprising," which was aired the week of November 5th, for exposing to a wide audience the heroic Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.
		The Council believes that beyond the heroic story of the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, the Polish resistance's irrefutable role in fighting the Nazi occupation-in Poland and on many fronts during the entire war-has yet to be fully told.
		However, we believe it is important to consider, with respect, the comments of Marek Edelman, the last surviving commander of the Jewish uprising.

		In the end, the 13-member censorship board found no scenes in the film that were unacceptable, against the law, or so violent as to warrant removal.

	Director's TV film portrays Jewish resistance to Nazis
		Addressing a packed house of students and faculty, Avnet touched on a variety of topics, including his films and career, the role of the media in society and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
		The film also attempted to, in the words of Filreis, provide a "metacommentary on how the media does what it does." Avnet said that "all media is the media truth," and condoned "our satisfaction to sit back on the Western media."
		In addition to Uprising, Avnet is famous for producing such varied films as Fried Green Tomatoes, Mighty Ducks, Up Close and Personal, The Three Mustekteers and Risky Business.

		The film also provoked labor activists and historians to undertake further research into events in their own localities, and this led to greater awareness of other strikes and labor activities in the 1930s and after.
		The film is also regarded by some activists as contributing to the momentum toward the eventual passage of a Mining Moratorium bill in the Wisconsin State Legislature, which was one of the specific goals of the coalition of anti-mining groups.
		Because so many people appeared in the film, it essentially “dumped sources into laps of reporters,” and the general respect for the historical accuracy of the film meant that these sources could not be simply dismissed as vehicles for pro-union propaganda.

	DVD Review - Uprising
		Originally aired over two nights, the film's three hours can be difficult to endure, but not because of the filmmaking.
		At first glance, you might consider it a muted video image, but the film was shot that way - it's a stylistic choice in keeping with the gray death of the ghetto.
		This documentary delves deeper into the historical events surrounding the uprising and does a fine job of adding depth and enhancing the viewer's understanding of the true events which were very accurately depicted in the film.

		A film set in the darkness of the sewers wasn't likely to be a cinematic success, but I was not afraid of this.
		The reaction of the latter was not surprising, as the viewers were mostly the uprising participants or their families, who had lost their loved ones in Warsaw.

		In particular, Nelson focuses on the Oct. 7, 1944, uprising that occurred in the camp.
		In his singular vision, Nelson sidesteps the cliché-ridden mess much of recent film and TV history has made of the Holocaust, painting a portrait that is as intricate as it is horrific.
		The film keeps reminding us that we’re watching a movie and, astonishingly, this does nothing to dilute the horror of the representations of the historical hallmark of the 20th century.

		On the crucial day that is part of the film's title, a group of Jews staged an uprising at a concentration camp in Poland known as Sobibor.
		Nor does it attempt to recreate the uprising at that specific Polish extermination camp on that specific date and time by any means other than that of broad-shouldered, steadfast Yehuda Lerner's eyewitness account.
		The second half of this 95-minute film is almost entirely comprised of Lerner in close-up or medium shot relaying his memories of Jewish prisoners staging a hastily planned revolt against their Nazi captors.

		Arguably, the highlight of the first three chapters of the franchise was the deliciously creepy performance by Christopher Walken as the sociopath archangel Gabriel, responsible for a brutal civil war in heaven.
		The Prophecy: Uprising is not a suspense thriller though, and early on, we learn the killer is Belial.

		No doubt some liberties have been taken in the name of art and film making, but essentially the mini-series is faithful to the real events.
		There are many scenes filmed in dark tunnels or at night, where the level of detail drops just a little, but as this is a film that deals with people whose lives depended on not being seen, this is quite acceptable.
		Being a film with lots of Germans with guns, there are plenty of opportunities for the rear speakers to do their stuff, and they do so nicely.

		Angelica's entry is one of the great scenes of the film: she is beautiful, engaging, vibrant and dynamic, in strong contrast to the dry and repressed Salina women.
		Death pervades the film, from the dead soldier in the opening scene to the final shots where a priest goes to administer the last rites against the sound of gunfire.
		Unusually for a film adaptation, neither is a disappointment but both add to your understanding of the characters and of this period in history.

		The film combines "conventional" documentary footage with discussions on drink and democracy, and a record of social events and festivities in which the villagers greet the millennium, view the eclipse, and re-enact scenes from Czech history.
		The film is interlaced with playfully generalized passages of the turning points in Chinese history, ironic and bitterly humorous commentary of the other side of the "Chinese miracle." A high-quality soundtrack mix by Matt Scott is also worthy of notice.
