"Resistance": New Jesse Eisenberg Marcel Marceau Drama Hits VOD Today

Resistance aims to tell the story of how Marcel Marceau came to be, and it seems like a really interesting story. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, the film is skipping the theater portion of its release for obvious reasons and instead will just go ahead with its VOD release today. That's right- you can watch this film right now. I honestly had no idea Marcel Marceau had such an interesting back story. Should make for an interesting watch.

Catch the trailer, synopsis, and poster for Resistance below:

Before he was the world-famous mime Marcel Marceau, he was Marcel Mangel, an aspiring Jewish actor who joined the French Resistance to save the lives of thousands of children orphaned at the hands of the Nazis. Jesse Eisenberg stars in this compelling drama about a group of unsung heroes who put themselves in harm's way to rise above hatred and oppression during World War II. As a young man growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe, Marcel has no intention of getting involved in the war – his pursuits include impersonating Charlie Chaplin in burlesque clubs, painting backdrops for his plays, and antagonizing his obstinate father. His life is thrown into upheaval when he is recruited into the French Resistance, putting his acting skills to the ultimate test in teaching orphaned Jewish children how to survive in the horrifying reality of the Holocaust. Based on the inspiring true story, RESISTANCE follows the revolutionary tale of a selfless act that would forever change countless lives.

Resistance, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Ed Harris, Matthias Schweighofer, Bella Ramsey, and Edgar Ramirez hits VOD streaming services today.
