Resistance is a remarkable, true, and uplifting story. Jesse Eisenberg plays the French mime-to-be Marcel Marceau, who helped lead Jewish orphans to safety during World War 2. Before he becomes a world-famous mime, aspiring Jewish actor Marcel Mangel joins the French Resistance to save thousands of orphaned children from the reign of the Nazis.

Participation in the Zoom discussion is free. A donation to our Section is optional, but much appreciated; it will help strengthen our work in advocating for issues important to women, children and families.
