Description

In this film adaptation of his virtuoso stage performance, which debuted at Chicago Shakespeare Theater last fall, Emmy Award-winner and Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn (NOMADLAND; GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK) is Jan Karski, a reluctant WWII hero and Holocaust witness. After surviving the devastation of the Blitzkrieg, Karski swears allegiance to the Polish Underground and risks his life to carry the first eyewitness reports of war-torn Poland to the Western world and, ultimately, the Oval Office. Strathairn captures the complexity and legacy of this self-described “insignificant, little man” whose timely story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world. Q&As follow select presentations.
