Where to Watch Defiance
- ርልዪረFebruary 23, 2025Incredible movie that depicts how after WWII three men took it upon themselves to protect jews leading them to build a strong community and fight back under attack. Daniel Craig plays a tough yet sensitive character and takes us on an emotional historical journey. Great film based on a true story.
