The film combines never-before-seen archival footage with the testimoni es of over forty different people who\, working independently and at great risk to themselves and their families\, saved thousands of Jewish strange rs from almost certain death. Narrated by an all-star cast\, including He len Mirren and Jeremy Irons\, the film is a timely reminder of the pocket s of goodness that can rise in a sea of evil: everyday people helping othe rs who were "different" from them.Notably\, none of the people featured in the film thought of themselves as heroes.
