This award-winning film from Director Michael King and Executive Producer Joyce D. Mandell documents the efforts of twelve diplomat heroes who defied the Nazis to save countless Jews during the Holocaust. The film traces the journey of Stephanie Nyombayire, a young Rwandan anti-genocide activist who teams up with Sir Martin Gilbert, the renowned Holocaust historian, to travel across fifteen countries and three continents. Filmed on location in London, Paris, Rwanda, Israel, Budapest, Denmark, France, Poland and Lithuania, they interview survivors and descendants of the diplomats who rescued tens of thousands of Jews from the unspeakable horrors of the Nazi death camps. While Nyombayire seeks to uncover potential solutions for the ongoing genocide in Darfur and other regions, what emerges is a testament to how the inherent good in the human spirit can trump institutional evil.
