So, 'Forgotten Soldier' dives deep into the life of Sally Noach, this Dutch Jewish carpet salesman who, against all odds, forged papers and orchestrated escapes for hundreds of Jews in Vichy France. It’s a documentary that feels both personal and urgent. The pacing is quite methodical, almost like it’s echoing the tension of that era. You can really sense the moral complexities and the weight of those choices he made. And there’s this undercurrent of controversy—like the whispers of espionage and black market dealings—which adds layers to Noach’s story. The atmosphere is heavy, but oddly inspiring, you know? The film captures the grit of survival and the gray areas of morality during wartime. Quite a conversation starter for sure.
