Review of Walking with the Enemy

The film brought an unknown narrative of Jewish resistance in a country with a checkered history of political alliances to public awareness. The shift from the Jewish being integrated in a liberal way to the unexpected invasion by German troops was shocking. The human interest narratives were compelling, including how the smallest of gestures could turn into disaster or salvation. We saw this on TV, so seamlessness is not easily evaluated. Some of the scenes were big and, i believe, purposefully overwhelming, as one would be if caught in the middle. This film is worth the time, ready to inform us of what we really do not want to know about WWII. Not for the faint of heart.
