Synopsis
This drama is based on the true story of Sir Nicholas Winton and his heroic deeds during World War II. As a young British broker, he traveled to Prague in 1938, three months after the war broke out. He found destitute Jews who fled Nazi persecution in Austria and Germany. Families were willing to send their children away before the borders closed. Nicholas helps them ship the children out. But in his older years, he is haunted by the thought that he didn't do enough to help more children.
