“All I owned was a rifle, a leopard coat and my camera,” says Faye Schulman, whose clandestine photographs of Jewish partisans living in the forests of Eastern Europe documented their efforts to disrupt the Nazi killing machine by blowing up bridges, derailing trains, and smuggling Jews. The image of Schulman with an ammunition belt slung over her fashionable shoulder is only one of many jaw-dropping moments in Julia Mintz’s riveting documentary. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, the last surviving partisans tell their stories of cold, starvation, and fear but also of their capacity for courage, altruism, barbarism, resourcefulness and resistance. FOUR WINTERS, reveals a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience. Maybe you think you’ve heard it all before. You haven’t.
