Title: A distortion of history
Review: People need to be made aware of history. 'Shtetle' is Marzynski's attempt to make us aware of his version of history - obviously a version in which the Polish inhabitants of Bransk are the 'bad guys' and Jewish inhabitants are the 'good guys'. I believe that most viewers - inside the US and outside - are above such simplifications. Marzynski's film insults the viewer by distorting history. History education can and should do without such vain attempts.
