“Why didn’t Jews fight back during the war?” people often ask. The answer, of course, is “They did!”  Hiding deep within the forests of Eastern Europe, battling against extraordinary odds, more than 25,000 Jewish partisans blew up trains, burned electric stations, attacked enemy headquarters, and sabotaged the Nazi war machine whenever and however they could. This important documentary features surviving partisans who tell their stories through interviews, family photographs, and rare archival footage.  In Tablet, Marjorie Ingall calls it, “Surprising, moving…and sometimes shockingly funny.” Four Winters is a stunning, heartfelt narrative of heroism, resilience, and resistance, celebrating the courage, cleverness, and leadership of the partisans.
