City of Ruins is an ambitious 5 minute documentary film that is gaining high praise after its debut in Poland. A team of filmmakers spent two years creating a virtual flight over the city, using archival footage to demonstrate the level of wholesale destruction in Warsaw that followed the German invasion in September 1939. That incursion marked the beginning of WWII and Poland suffered terribly under Nazi occupation, in part because Adolf Hitler resented the nation's doomed-but-valiant resistance. In 1944, the city was virtually destroyed in reprisal for the Warsaw Uprising which saw hopelessly outnumbered Jewish underground fighters wreak heavy casualties on German forces, despite having only limited armaments. The film is being presented in 3-D in hopes of educating new generations about the extent of Polish suffering during the war. For more click here
