PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND

Irena's Vow tells the astonishing true story of Irena Gut Opdyke, a courageous Polish nurse who risked everything to save lives during World War II. As a housekeeper for a high-ranking Nazi officer (Dougray Scott), 19-year-old Irena (Sophie Nélisse) bravely sheltered twelve Jews in the most unlikely of places: the commandant's own basement. Driven by an unwavering moral compass and a vow to protect life, she must navigate constant peril and unimaginable choices to maintain a facade of normalcy.

Based on the Broadway play of the same name, this English-language film vividly portrays Irena’s extraordinary ingenuity and resilience as she orchestrates their survival right under the noses of the enemy. It makes for a tense, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful testament to the power of human compassion in the face of unspeakable evil. An inspiring and timely reminder that one person's courage can make a monumental difference.
