DVD - Defiance
 "Click to view larger image")
Daniel Craig ("James Bond: Quantum Of Solace") stars as Tuvia Bielski, an ordinary citizen turned hero, in this action-packed epic of family, honor, vengeance and salvation. "Defiance" is a riveting adventure that showcases the extraordinary true story of the Bielski brothers, simple farmers - outnumbered and outgunned - who turned a group of war refugees into powerful freedom fighters.
Tuvia, along with his unyielding brother, Zus (Liev Schreiber, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), motivate hundreds of civilians to join their ranks against the Nazi regime. Their "Inspirational story" is a true testament to the human spirit. (David Densby, The New Yorker).
