Reel WAR-145

A group resists Nazism by to big band jazz. SWING KIDS (PG-13) Though it takes off from actual accounts of German teenagers who rebelled against the Nazis through their love of big-band jazz, most of this somber, smoothly crafted drama has nothing to do with swing. Set in 1939, it's about a wily adolescent, Peter (Robert Sean Leonard), who watches in horror as everyone he knows turns into a brainwashed Third Reich partisan.
