A 90-minute historical documentary that tells the remarkable story of Chiune Sugihara and the Jewish refugees that he helped to save
A co-production of Dentsu Inc., in association with David Rubinson and CPG LLC
Discover the Impact of One Man's Extraordinary Act of Courage
In the fall of 1939 Hitler's murderous wave was sweeping through Eastern Europe
In the face of the Nazi onslaught, Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara made a decision that would change his life and thousands of others
With no possible hope for reward and at great risk to his family and career, Sugihara acted on his innermost beliefs and used his diplomatic power to rescue desperate Jewish refugees
As Japanese Consul to Lithuania, Sugihara defied Tokyo authorities by writing transit visas that were the sole remaining hope of Jews facing extermination
More than 2,000 Sugihara-stamped passports allowed hundreds of families to flee Europe through Russia to Japan and safe havens abroad
Today it is estimated that at least 40,000 people owe their existence to Sugihara's heroism
Through unprecedented access to Sugihara's family and their personal home movies, photos, and papers,
and interviews with Sugihara survivors and their descendants, viewers will discover an inspiring, little known story of personal courage, sacrifice, and dedication
