Written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson. Produced by Pamela Koffler, Christine Vachon, Tim Blake Nelson, Avi Lerner and Danny Lerner. Based on actual events and in part on the novel by Dr. Miklos Koffler, this film is the astounding and powerful story of the Auschwitz’s twelfth Sonderkommando - one of thirteen consecutive “Special Squads” of Jewish prisoners placed by the Nazis in the excruciating moral dilemma of helping to exterminate fellow Jews. It also recounts their struggle to carry out the only armed revolt that would ever take place at Auschwitz. With an incredible ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi, David Arquette, Harvey Keitel, Mira Sorvino and Natasha Lyonne, The Grey Zone, challenges the moral dilemma of the terrible lengths people will go to ensure their survival and what sacrifices they are willing to make to save the lives of others. (Executive Producers: Harvey Keitel, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Brad Weston, John Wells, and Peggy Gromley. Co-Producer - David Varod.)
