In a virtuoso solo performance, Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn portrays Jan Karski in this genre-defying true story of a reluctant World War II 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. Escaping a Gestapo prison, bearing witness to the despair of the Warsaw ghetto and confronted by the inhumanity of a Nazi camp, Karski endures unspeakable mental anguish and physical torture to stand tall in the halls of power and speak the truth.
Produced by Eva Anisko, Written by Clark Young and Derek Goldman
