A documentary about the English Nicholas Winton who between March and August 1939 saved 669 mainly Jewish children from transports of death and found them new homes in Great Britain. After the start of WWII, Winton joined the Royal Air Force without telling anyone about his deed. It was not until 1988 that his wife discovered some documents about what happened. His story was revealed to the public and Winton was even given a chance to meet some of “his“ children. The use of archive footage, photographs and various testimonies make the film into a stirring documentary of the courage of an individual whose determination saved many human lives.
