Uprising

The film "Uprising" (2001) is a war drama about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II, told from the moral dilemmas faced by the Jewish residents, particularly Adam Czerniaków (Donald Sutherland), the head of the Judenrat. A group of Polish Jews, including Mordechai Anielewicz (Hank Azaria) and Yitzhak Zuckerman (David Schwimmer), decide to rebel against the Nazis, while Czerniaków must navigate the difficult choices between obeying the German authorities and protecting his people. The film illustrates the events leading up to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which began on April 19, 1943.
