Nominated for Best Foreign Language Picture at the 84th Academy Awards, this dramatic tale is based on the true story of one man’s rescue of Jewish refugees in Nazi-occupied Ukraine.
Adapted from the book In the Sewers of Lvov, which recounts how a group of Jewish refugees spent 14 months hiding in the city’s sewer systems.
