Check out the trailer for Irena's Vow, an upcoming movie starring Sophie Nélisse ("Yellowjackets," 47 Meters Down: Uncaged), Dougray Scott (Mission: Impossible 2, "Batwoman"), Andrzej Seweryn, and Maciek Nawrocki.
Through the eyes of a strong-willed woman comes the remarkable true story of Irena Gut Opdyke and the triumphs of the human spirit over devastating tragedy. 19-year-old Irena Gut is promoted to housekeeper in the home of a highly respected Nazi officer when she finds out that the Jewish ghetto is about to be liquidated. Determined to help twelve Jewish workers, she decides to shelter them in the safest place she can think of: the basement of the German commandant's house. Over the next two years, Irena uses her wit, humor, and courage to hide her friends until the end of the German occupation, concealing them in the midst of countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and even the birth of a child. Her story is one of the most inspiring of our time.
Irena's Vow is produced by Nicholas Tabarrok, p.g.a, Beata Pisula, Tim Ringuette, Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman. Larry Greenberg and Leah Jaunzems serve as executive producers. It is written by Dan Gordon (Passenger 57, Wyatt Earp).
Irena's Vow, directed by Louise Archambault (Atomic Saké, Familia), is in theaters on April 15 & April 16, 2023.
