Defiance

In German-occupied Eastern Europe during World War II, three Jewish brothers escape the Nazis and seek refuge in the dense Białowieża Forest. Led by the eldest brother, Tuvia Bielski, they form a community of Jewish partisans, fighting back against their oppressors while trying to survive the brutal winter and the constant threat of discovery. Their resistance grows into one of the largest armed uprisings of Jews against the Nazis.
