The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler (2009)



9/10 [Highly Recommended]

Heartfelt story of a true hero with great acting.

The story of Irena Sendler, a social worker who was part of the Polish underground during World War II and was arrested by the Nazi's for saving the lives of nearly 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw ghetto.(imdb)

The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler would fall on my list of being one of my favourite films about a hero trying to make a difference during the holocaust. Schindler's List and Uprising being my other favourites.Irena Sendler, risking her lifesaved 2,500 Jewish children. This film does a fantastic job of capturing her efforts and the emotional road her action takes.

The story is well knit supported by a fine cast. Anna Paquin's performance, especially, as Irena Sendler is absolutely amazing. All the actors/actresses does a very realistic performance without being over dramatic, capturing the pain and desire for hope of the situation.

Highly recommend this movie! True story of a true hero!
