## Description

From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland, In Darkness is based on a true story. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town’s sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha’s conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger.

    STORY OF SURVIVAL IN THE MOST DESPERATE OF TIMES
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2012*

IN DARKNESS is based on the true story of a group of people who survived the violent destruction of the Jewish "ghetto" by escaping into the sewers of Lvov, Poland. For 14 months they endured unimaginable hardship surving through the help of a Polish sewer worker named Leopold Socha.Although there is nothing much new in this story, it is still rivoting. There have been countless stories about a small group of Jewish men and women surving the horrors of Nazi evils in World War II. This is just one more story, and of course, all the stories of survival againts all odds are worth knowing.Dozens escape into the sewers as the Nazis are exterminating the ghetto and killing randomly and dragging everyone else to concentration camps. When the encounter Socha on his rounds in the sewers, he offers to help only 11 and for a price. He can't save everyone but he can take 11 away to a more secluded area.Here is where the story of mistrust, deceit, compassion and heroism take over.Director Agnieszka Holland takes us on another harrowing story of survival during World War II. The group fo 11 whittles down to a smaller group and Socha must keep his secret from the world as he also must feed several extra mouths during a time of food shortages. Although we see the people living in the sewers, the story seems a bit sanitized. How did they deal with the filth and the horrific odors. We see kids treating the rats as almost pets. Despite the horrific environment, life goes and on and people still have the desire to have sex and be physically close. It is amazing.There is a twist to this story that can be found in the Extra Features on the disc. Here is where the real gem of the film shines. Unbeknownst to director Agnieszka Holland, one of the survivors of the sewer was still very much alive. Krystyna Chiger was a small child with her brother and parents in the sewers. It's surprising that Holland did not discover this fact until AFTER her film was completed. In one of the extra features, Holland interviews Chiger about her experiences in the sewer. Chiger had no input in the making of the film but praised Holland for its realism and accuracy. I could have spent hours listening to Chiger tell her story. There have been countless films about the Holocaust and how groups of people survived the horrific odds. These films usually end with written words on the screen to give a brief synopsis of what happened to the survivors. How fascinating it would be to follow the survivors after their ordeal. How did they cope with the horrors? What was life like after the war--to have lost everything and everyone?IN DARKNESS is a testament to survival and the will to live.

Only in the darkness, we see true hope, sacrifice, courage. Watch this and be the one who stand up against the darkness of our time
