On March 21, Columbia TriStar Home Video will release the touching film by Peter Kassovitz, Jakob The Liar on DVD. Starring Robin Williams, the movie tells the story of poor Jewish cafe owner, Jakob Heym, in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II. Jakob overhears a forbidden radio news bulletin signalling Soviet military successes against German forces. To combat the overwhelming depression that pervades the ghetto, Jacob invents fictious news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. These lies keep hope and humor alive among the ghetto inhabitants – spirits are lifted, hearts are refreshed and optimism is reborn. The Germans learn of the mythical radio and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it.

The DVD will contain a 16×9 widescreen transfer, a commentary track by director Peter Kassovitz, the film’s isolated music score and production notes.
