Leningrad — Russia
The 2009 Russian film follows a Soviet female soldier and a British journalist trapped inside besieged Leningrad — the city surrounded by German forces for 872 days in the longest siege in modern warfare.
The Siege of Leningrad lasted from 8 September 1941 to 27 January 1944 — 872 days. Approximately 800,000 civilians died of starvation, cold and bombardment, more than all British and American WWII deaths combined. The only supply route was across Lake Ladoga's ice — the 'Road of Life'. Hitler ordered the city to be starved into submission rather than stormed.
