Uprising (2001)

The proud defiance that has sustained the Jewish people during thousands of years of diaspora and persecution was nowhere more heroic than in the Warsaw ghetto of 1939. The marauding Nazis, in the first flush of their plans for world domination, rolled into Poland and promptly shoved all the Jews of that nation’s capitol into one squalid, isolated neighborhood. When the S.S. moved in for the kill, they were surprised by the tenacity and unity of a people who were willing to put honor and loyalty ahead of everything, even survival. Uprising (2001) is a made-for-television epic that celebrates the heroic and tragic resistance of Warsaw’s Jews.
