Title: Truly Disappointing
Product review: This DVD, while aiming to shed light on the Dutch resistance, instead focused on the recollections of a few brave people. It couldn't decide whether it was a love story or a documentary as it jumped back and forth, maddeningly re-using again and again the same images of a train track clickety-clacking toward doom. If you cut out all the visual filler, the story is thin ideed, which is too bad, because it could have been tightened up and enriched with maps and timelines and statistics relating to the positive impact brave resistors had on the survivors and on the war. The individuals' stories, while compelling, were not enough to make this a DVD worth watching.
