The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler

[cak1207]

Is anyone else watching this? I am really enjoying this movie. I think Anna Paquin is doing an amazing job playing this role. The story of Irena Sendler is a courageous and beautiful story. I actually forgot this was going to play. I started sobbing at the part where the mother had to hand her sobbing child away. I'm wondering how they're going to handle the torture and imprisonment part. I'll probably cry some more.

So far though it's a great movie.

I recorded it so i can watch it later.

I looked up info about this woman on wikipedia...what a fascinating story. And how some high school students from Kansas read a small tidbit buried in a magazine about her, and now their research about her life is used as source material in over 100 universities. They even wrote a play "Life in a Jar" about her. Amazing.
