The World Will Tremble is a 2025 historical drama film directed by Lior Geller, based on the true story of a group of prisoners who risked everything to escape from Auschwitz-Birkenau — the first Nazi death camp — with one desperate mission: to alert the world about the Holocaust before it was too late.
What is The World Will Tremble about?
In the early years of the Second World War, a handful of inmates inside the most notorious Nazi extermination facility realize that the outside world has no idea what is happening behind those fences. Documenting the systematic murder of thousands is not enough — someone must physically break free and carry the truth beyond the gates. The film follows these men as they plan and execute an audacious escape under constant mortal danger, driven not by the hope of personal survival alone but by the weight of bearing witness. Every hour they remain hidden within those walls, thousands more perish. Their window to reach the resistance and force the Allies to acknowledge the atrocity is rapidly closing.
Cast & crew
Oliver Jackson-Cohen leads the cast, bringing quiet intensity to a role that demands both physical endurance and moral conviction. Jeremy Neumark Jones and David Kross offer strong support, grounding the film in the human cost of each decision. Michael Epp rounds out the principal ensemble. Director Lior Geller approaches the material with disciplined restraint, letting documented history carry the moral weight.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking diaspora audiences, stories of persecution, exile, and the courage required to force the world to listen carry a deep, immediate resonance. The Holocaust has been taught and remembered across many Iranian-Jewish communities, and for a broader diaspora that understands what it means to flee a regime and be disbelieved abroad, this true account of bearing witness at enormous personal cost speaks directly to lived experience. The film is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub, so viewers can engage with this important chapter of twentieth-century history entirely in their own language — no subtitles required.
