War Drama History

Overview

Set against the backdrop of World War II, the historical drama follows Missak Manouchian, an Armenian woodworker and passionate political activist. Leading a diverse band of immigrant workers, he orchestrates 30 daring operations against the Nazis in 1943. Dubbed the "Army of Crime" by the Nazis in a misguided attempt to vilify them, the group's courageous actions ultimately transform its members into symbols of resistance and sacrifice, inspiring others to join the fight against oppression. Through Manouchian's leadership, their story unfolds as a testament to bravery and unity against tyranny.
