Synopsis:
Prague, 1938. As the city is about to fall into the hands of the Nazis, a London banker will do everything in his power to save hundreds of children destined for certain death in concentration camps.
At the risk of his life, Nicholas Winton organized convoys to England, where 669 Jewish children found refuge.
This true story, which remained unknown for decades, was revealed to the whole world when, in 1988, a British program invited Nicholas to testify. He has no idea that in the audience are the children – now adults – who survived thanks to him…
