This modern-day story of humanitarian activism and global goodwill tells the nearly forgotten story of Sir Nicholas Winton, a unique and courageous Englishman who saved 669 Czechoslovak Jewish children from the Nazis on the Kindertransport to England. This powerful part-dramatization, part-documentary film recreates the events of late 1939, when the young German stockbroker ran his secret rescue operation from a Prague hotel room. The film is a heartfelt tale of tragedy, hope and bravery against the odds which continues to influence people from all over the world and motivate them to do good. Today, Nicky's worldwide family - the men and women he saved and their descendants - has grown to almost 6,000 people
