“Excellent performances and cinematography… The World Will Tremble earns its place in a very crowded genre.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“An undeniably effective addition to the pantheon of media that preserves our memory of the Holocaust.” – Loud and Clear Reviews
An edge-of-your-seat thriller that tells the real-life story of a death camp escape. In 1942, Polish Jewish men Solomon Wiener and Michael Podchlebnik are prisoners of the Chelmno extermination camp, put to work as gravediggers for their own people. When a taunting game of target practice for the Nazi officers becomes deadly, it’s the final straw for Solomon and Michael. They make a plan to escape and, against all odds, become the first people to provide eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust.
Guided by astounding performances from the two lead actors, Oliver Jackson-Cohen (The Invisible Man, The Haunting of Hill House) as Solomon and Jeremy Neumark Jones (Denial) as Michael, The World Will Tremble depicts the harrowing but sadly little-known experiences of two heroes who risked everything to tell the world their story. The film is a technical marvel, with stunning cinematography, a moving musical score and impressive period production design.
