REVIEW:

Uprising, an NBC TV miniseries about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during the Holocaust, is an attempt to bring some spotlight to the striking true story of Warsaw’s Jewish resistance, but unfortunately fails to give a true-life inspirational tale the movie presentation it deserves. Maybe a harder-hitting, grittier film could have been a better format; the restrictions of NBC and the TV movie format leaves Uprising, while earnestly well-intentioned, feeling like it soft peddles a story that shouldn’t be soft peddled.
