Marek Edelman, a member of the Jewish Labor Bund and a leading participant in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, gives a daily account of events from April 19 through May 10, 1942. Edelman's thorough and distinct takes are augmented by Dylewska's poetic use of slow motion and freeze-frame film techniques applied to documentary material, including Nazi footage of Jews about to be deported to Treblinka.
