Nicholas "Nicky" Winton, va ajudar a rescatar centenars de nens jueus dels nazis en vigílies de la Segona Guerra Mundial, amb l'ajuda de la seva mare. Un acte de compassió gairebé oblidat durant 50 anys, i del qual Nicky viu turmentat pels fantasmes dels nens que no va poder rescatar, culpant-se per no haver-hi fet més.
An astounding exposé that gives voice to the unwitting subjects of an infamous American scientific experiment: the 1960s Neubauer-Bernard study of separated twins. Told from the perspective of the Jewish identical twins and triplets who were secretly split up in infancy and adopted through Louise Wise Services, a Jewish adoption agency, the documentary examines the traumatic, long-term effects of the separations — and continuing deception — on the children and their adoptive families.
Estiu de 1942. Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, sis nens jueus busquen refugi on ningú no pensaria trobar-los: dins del Castell de Chambord, enmig de les obres d'art amagades del Louvre. Malgrat el perill que els amenaça, de la mort que els aguaita, aquests cors valents aprenen a assaborir el moment present.
A gripping documentary about the courage and determination of a young English stockbroker who saved the lives of 669 children. Between March 13 and August 2, 1939, Nicholas Winton organized 8 transports to take children from Prague to new homes in Great Britain, and kept quiet about it until his wife discovered a scrapbook documenting his unique mission in 1988. Winton was a successful 29-year-old stockbroker in London who "had an intuition" about the fate of the Jews when he visited Prague in 1939. He quietly but decisively got down to the business of saving lives. We learn how only two countries, Sweden and Britain, answered his call to harbor the young refugees; how documents had to be forged and how once foster parents signed for the children on delivery, that was the last he saw of them.
Silent archival footage of Jewish children during the Holocaust, accompanied by music and poetic narration. A haunting portrait of a future generation lost to cruelty and genocide.
