Resistance

Running time: 120 mins

An aspiring actor who changed the world as a real-life hero.

Long before he was the world-famous mime Marcel Marceau, aspiring Jewish actor Marcel Mangel (Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network) was already a hero, having joined the French Resistance to save the lives of thousands of children orphaned at the hands of the Nazis. Marcel had no intention of getting involved in the war, but his life was thrown into upheaval when he got recruited into the French Resistance. Putting his acting skills to best use, he taught orphaned Jewish children how to survive the horrifying reality of the Holocaust. Co-starring Ed Harris (multiple Academy Award nominee, Apollo 13, The Hours), Resistance, tells the revolutionary tale of a selfless act that would forever change countless lives.
