The TVI Take
Edward Zwick's 2008 historical film about the Bielski partisans, Jewish brothers who sheltered over a thousand refugees in the Belarusian forests of 1941-1944. Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber play the brothers.
Zwick treats armed resistance and pacifist sheltering as parallel forms of moral courage rather than a debate to resolve.
