Defying History?

The film "Defiance" came out this past January. The film is about Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe that escape into the Belarussian forests (formally Poland), where they join Russian resistance fighters and go on to build a village in order to protect themselves and about 1,000 Jewish non-combatants.

Many people in Poland did not agree with its adaptation of this true story. Their argument is that its not historically accurate.

Maybe its a good thing that the movie did no do so well over there.

Who considers Hollywood films to be a credible source of historical truth anyway? Unfortunately, a lot of people do.






Sounds like they need to change this to" inspired by a true story".
