Celebrates the true story of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, who disobeyed his government and issued around 30,000 transit visas to refugees seeking to escape the Nazis. Aristides de Sousa Mendes' humanitarian and selfless actions represent the most significant life saving effort undertaken by one individual during WWII. Posthumously, his altruism has been recognised world wide but in Britain his story remains largely unknown.
