With past films like The Last Samurai and Blood Diamond under his belt, director Edward Zwick brings history to life with his latest offering Defiance, a war film based on the true story of the Bielski Partisans – a Nazi resistance group.

New Bond Daniel Craig ditches his English accent and tuxedos for Polish tones and grubby wear to take on the role of Tuvia Bielski – the eldest of the 3 famed Jewish brothers responsible for the formation of the Bielski Partisans.

Initially seeking refuge in the forest after escaping a death sentence from the Nazis, the brothers begin their road to vengeance – not by armed combat, but by saving the lives of more than 10,000 Jews.

This is a gripping film about the strength of courage, brotherhood and love in the midst of bloodshed, man’s determined quest for survival poignantly shines through to inspire even the most jaded movie critic.

Win tickets and posters to Defiance from Shaw Organisation through the UrbanWire.
