Out of Darkness (1941)

*** (out of 4)

John Nesbitt's Passing Parade features the story of Nazi's efforts in Belgium to bring their people down. Set during the years of WW1, the film tells the story of a Belgium newspaper, which had to work underground to spread the word to people that they should remain strong even though Germany is trying to tear them down. In a short amount of time, twenty-two different editors of the paper were tracked down and killed. Just knowing that nearly two dozen editors died to keep this newspaper going is quite remarkable and makes for a very interesting story. Just when you think you've heard everything about the war then comes this short, which tells a rather amazing story. I'm sure there are hundreds of others out there like this one and you can't help but wish there were shorts today just to tell them.
