Four Winters: A Story of Jewish Partisan Resistance and Bravery in WW2

"All I owned was a rifle, a leopard coat and my camera," says Faye Schulman, whose clandestine photographs of Jewish partisans living in the forests of Eastern Europe documented their efforts to disrupt the Nazi killing machine by blowing up bridges, derailing trains, and smuggling Jews. The image of Schulman with an ammunition belt slung over her fashionable shoulder like a Mexican bandito is only one of many jaw-dropping moments in Julia Mintz's riveting documentary. Some of the last surviving partisans tell stories of cold, hunger, and fear, but also of their capacity for courage, altruism, resourcefulness, and barbarism. Maybe you think you've heard it all before. You haven't.
