BRAVE BUNCH: CHILDREN OF WARSAW UPRISING

see adult comments

This retelling of the Warsaw Uprising is very personal in the way that the stories are told by people who appear to have actually experienced it. It makes their stories very accessible to young people and drives their stories home.

A group of children run through the streets of modern-day Warsaw; the city their playground. One of them spies a discarded journal and they are transported back to August 1944. As the children enter the Warsaw Rising Museum, the exhibits soon step out of the past. Based on fact, with a sprinkling of magic realism and driven by the children's curiosity, Brave Bunch. The Uprising through children's eyes relates tender, often moving accounts of those who witnessed the uprising as children themselves, drawing a line between past and present with playful dexterity. From Poland in Polish with English sub-titles.
