Irena Sendler is a Catholic social worker who has sympathized with the Jews since her childhood, when her physician father died of typhus contracted while treating poor Jewish patients. When she initially proposes saving Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto, her idea is met with skepticism by fellow workers, her parish priest, and even her own mother Janina.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly powerful account of one woman's moral conviction in the face of systematic evil, grounded in historical detail and the weight of impossible choices. The film honors both the scale of tragedy and the stubborn humanity that refuses to surrender to it.
