Resistance
Directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz
★★★
When you think of Marcel Marceau you probably think world famous mime artist, not French Resistance fighter who helped over a hundred Jewish children escape from the Nazis to safety in Switzerland.
But writer-director Jonathan Jakubowicz’s poignant drama shines a much needed light on this little known but awe-inspiring real-life story with the help of a fine international cast.
