Rainbow (1944 film)

Raiduga), is a 1944 Soviet World War II film directed by Mark Donskoy and written by Wanda Wasilewska based on her novel,[1] Tęcza.Suffering more than most is Olena (Nataliya Uzhviy), a Soviet partisan who returns to the village to bear her child, only to endure the cruelest of arbitrary tortures at the hands of the Nazis.[3] Eventually, the villagers rise up against their oppressors, but unexpectedly do not wipe them out, electing instead to force the surviving Nazis to stand trial for their atrocities in a postwar "people's court."Roosevelt cabled Ambassador W. Averell Harriman in Moscow on March 14, 1944 with the message that he had viewed the film, and found it so "beautifully and dramatically presented that it required little translation."FDR stated that he hoped it could be shown to the American public; it was released in the USA in June, 1944, by Artkino Pictures Inc..
