This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Jemima

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Very inspiriting story of brave hearts of Polish catholic women. Between 1939 and 1945, Irena Sendler, a young Polish Catholic social worker, led a daring conspiracy of young catholic women who saved thousands of Jewish children from certain death. Yet little was known about them until recently. Participants in the Polish Resistance, they were viewed as a threat to the Communists who took over Poland in 1945 and their stories and many others were suppressed for decades. Now American filmmaker Mary Skinner, the daughter of a Warsaw war orphan, brings their remarkable saga to life in Irena Sendler In the Name of Their Mothers. The extraordinary film features 95-year-old Irena Sendler in the last interviews she gave before she died in 1998, together with her co-workers and the Jewish children they saved.
