Details

Resistance is a compelling historical drama set during World War II. Based on true events, the film tells the remarkable story of a brave group of Jewish Boy Scouts who join forces with the French Resistance to save the lives of ten thousand orphaned children.

Set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied France, the movie follows the extraordinary journey of Marcel Marceau, a mime artist who becomes an unlikely hero. As the Nazis persecute the Jewish community, Marcel and his fellow Boy Scouts embark on a dangerous mission to smuggle orphaned children across the Swiss border, away from the clutches of the Nazis.

Resistance powerfully captures the courage and determination of these young heroes as they face constant threats, risking their own lives to protect others. Their ingenious tactics and acts of bravery make for a gripping and emotionally charged narrative.

Directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz, the film offers an intimate portrayal of Marcel Marceau's early life, shedding light on the lesser-known aspects of his remarkable career. Jesse Eisenberg delivers a captivating performance as Marcel, perfectly capturing his transformation from a struggling artist to a courageous leader.

Resistance is a poignant and inspiring tale of heroism, showcasing both the atrocities of war and the strength of the human spirit. This thought-provoking film serves as a reminder of the brave actions taken by ordinary individuals to protect the innocent during one of history's darkest chapters.
