Uprising must be a movie because it makes us feel better about ourselves, when we know perfectly well that we don't deserve to. Go to Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle 12/06/2001

Uprising, though flawed in a lot of ways, is still worth checking out if only to learn about a true-life inspirational tale. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 12/07/2001
3/5
Merits watching if only because it's a bracing corrective to the deeply entrenched image of Europe's Jews plodding, sheep-like, to their deaths in Nazi concentration camps. Go to Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times 12/06/2001

Steve D @RT35616104 09/25/2023 A tough watch but a powerful one. See more Laurie S @Karlwinters 07/12/2019 It illistrates very well the attitude of superiority and contempt of others by the Germans, believeing in theiregotism they could take over the world. There is a hint of that still in their genes if you visit other countries where they holiday as I have encountered in Spain, Italy, Kenya, et al. I have also seen a Gozitan 6 inches smaller make a Tall German cower when he was insulted. Good job. See more 02/01/2019 Great movie about the horrible treatment of the Jews in Warsaw, Poland, and the horrendous fight against that treatment. See more 08/16/2015 so important to know that there were ghetto uprisings in Poland. I never learned about them in school. inspirational heroes are represented by an all star cast, doing terrific work to portray them.
