Attack on Leningrad

The siege of Leningrad is one of the most memorable conflicts from World War II. It lasted just under two and a half years, and caused thousands upon thousands of deaths.
Attack of Leningrad is a 2009 foreign language film set during this period, and follows a foreign journalist by the name of Kate Davies (Mira Sorvino). She is one of a group of foreign journalists visiting Leningrad, but she is presumed missing and does not make it to the plane evacuating the group. She is left behind in the city, forced to find a way to survive amidst the chaos.
Attack of Leningrad is a harrowing look at the conditions people had to adapt to during the siege. The reality of the survivors' severe malnourishment is catalogued through public service announcements during the film.
It's worth a look.

Attack on Leningard: 110 minutes (2009).
