Blessed is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh - Documentary

She was only 22 when she parachuted into Nazi-occupied Europe in an effort to save the Jews of Hungary. But poet and diarist Hannah Senesh had already left behind a body of work that would inspire readers for generations to come. Now, for the first time, Hannah's remarkable life story is presented as a feature documentary
Narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joan Allen, 'Blessed Is the Match' brings to life this Holocaust heroine through interviews, eyewitness accounts, rare family photographs and the writings of Hannah and her mother Catherine Senesh
It retraces Hannah's perilous mission, reconstructs her defiant months in a Gestapo prison during the summer of 1944 and - through Hannah's diary entries and poetry - looks back on the life of a uniquely talented and complex girl who came of age in a world descending into madness
