Irena Gut Opdyke: What Matters Who We Are?
Chronology
Through the eyes of a strong-willed woman comes the remarkable story of Irena Gut and the triumphs of the human spirit over devastating tragedy as she risked her life to save a generation of Jews from the atrocities of the Holocaust.. Although this Canadian film had a much wider theatrical release in Canada than the typical Canadian film, for some reason its distributor, Elevation Pictures, decided not to give the film a substantial marketing budget. As a result, the film performed poorly at the box office and was pulled from most theaters by the end of its third week or release…
What We Do Is Who We Are

So powerful and compelling
The story is quite simple really. Schindler’s List meets Parasite is the first thing that came to mind when the movie ended. The main character is so well cast that he tells the whole story with just his eyes.
Very catchy score too
Dougray Scott plays him very well, hadn’t seen him since Mission Impossible 2! Overall, I can’t think of anyone who didn’t win me over. I wouldn’t cut any scenes to shorten them.
63 doesn’t do this movie justice, believe me
I just hope this movie gets more attention somehow.
