TRAILER AND REVIEWS

FILM SYNOPSIS: “All I owned was a leopard coat, a rifle and a grenade in case of capture...the pillow was the rifle, the walls were the trees and the sky was the roof.” says partisan Faye Schulman, one of over 25,000 Jewish partisans, who fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII’s Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents raised in closely knit families to courageous resistance fighters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, the last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in FOUR WINTERS, revealing a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience.

JULIA MINTZ

"I set out to make this film in search of an answer to my long-lasting childhood question: “Why didn’t the Jews fight back?” What I discovered, through the survivors’ searing memories, were riveting stories of courageous and inspiring resistance – a chapter in our collective history about the Jewish Partisans that needed to be told.”
– Julia Mintz, Director, Writer & Producer FOUR WINTERS documentary
