The Rescuers plot

This film reveals the largely unknown stories of 13 heroic and courageous diplomats who, at their own expense, helped tens of thousands of Jews during World War II. The film follows Stephanie Nyombayire, a young Rwandan anti-genocide activist who lost 100 members of her family in the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s, and Sir Martin Gilbert, the renowned 20th century Holocaust historian. They traverse 15 countries and three continents to interview survivors and descendants of the diplomats. How to break the cycle of genocide and other crimes against humanity is a hugely complex problem on all levels. The Rescuers seeks dialogue with current government leaders and their diplomatic representatives around the world. It challenges them, and all of us, to use our moral authority and power to save lives in danger around the world.
