In Darkness

A somber, sobering, gut-wrenching, well-acted, Oscar-nominated, factually based, 145-minute film, which is based on David F. Shamoon's book In Darkness and Robert Marshall's book In the Sewers of Lvov, in which brave, compassionate, thieving, Polish sewer inspector Leopold ‘Poldek' Socha (Robert Wieckiewicz), who has a wife (Kinga Preis) and daughter (Zofia Pieczynska), helps Jewish refugees (Benno Fürmann, Agnieszka Grochowsk, Eti Szyc, Jerzy Walczak, Herbert Knaup, Marcin Bosak, Maria Schrader, Oliwer Stanczak, Milla Bankowicz, Aleksander Mincer, Piotr Glowacki, Isa Lozinska, Maria Semotiuk, et al.) in 1943 hide in inhuman conditions in the damp, smelly, rat-infested, claustrophobic, horrific sewers for more than 14 months in Lvov, Poland, during WWII when they are hunted by a Ukrainian Nazi-sympathizer soldier (Michal Zurawski) for profit and the Nazis for sport.
