Ed Zwick shines some light on the exploits of the Bielski brothers who took no crap from anyone growing up and kept the same attitude during WWII. Anyone challeging thier existance was dealt with harshly and without remorse. As naturalistic events unfolded in the forests of Bellaussia, family and Jews gravitated towards them until by war's end they saved 1237 Jews. They maintained order in their Jerusalem in the Woods by love and force, as needed. Spellbinding, although the real life brutal exploits were a thousandfold, it took the genius of Ed Zwick to condense the Bielskis everyman heroes into an entertaining movie.
