Very Good

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2009)

While this movie isn't exactly historically correct according to some of the "experts" commenting on this board, and while the movie is uncomfortable to watch at times it overcomes whatever limitations one might choose to pick on by exploring the subject matter which is what desperate people will do to survive. I can't say the movie is a pleasure to watch, it is nerve racking and distressing much of the time, but overall it is a great movie. The amazing thing is many of these people did live and survive in a time and place where survival was not to be expected. The other, very moving, fact was the almost religious acceptance of persecution...but you'll have to see the movie to see what I mean. I highly recommend this movie.
