Claude Lanzmann refutes two cliches: that the Jews had no inkling of what awaited them in the gas chambers, and that they went to their deaths without resistance. Featuring the place and time when Jewish prisoners in the Sobibor extermination camp staged a successful uprising—the only one—against the Nazi captors.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Carrie Rickey
A spare document featuring one talking head. But what a talking head and what a story!
The New York Times by Dana Stevens
The feelings that this simple, deeply intelligent movie produces -- of horror, admiration, hope and grief -- are as hard to name as they are to dispel.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Rigorous and riveting.
Has a terrible fascination that glues viewers to the screen. At the same time, audience patience is tested.
New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
It's a slow, exhaustive and exhausting process that takes a toll on the viewer, despite the intrinsic power of the underlying material.
While it stands as a distinct film in its own right, this film is still very much of a piece with "Shoah," and the subject is presented in the same haunting manner.
