  • Starring: Judi Dench
  • Summary: In an effort to remove Jewish children from Nazi territory in pre-World War II Europe, the "Kindertransport" sent children far away from their families to live with stangers, often never to see their parents again. In this documentary, the aging survivors and their rescuers tell their moving stories. Collapse

    Has moments of profound poignance, though it lacks the overall dramatic impact of "The Long Way Home."

    It's worth shelling out to see this doc on a theater screen: The enthralling archival footage of Germany in the 1930s is rare stuff indeed, of superb photographic quality.

    A haunting tale of the physical survival and emotional confusion of children who were simultaneously required to build a new life and hold fast to the memory of an old one, in the hope of resuming it after the war.
  4. Its subject matter is intrinsically upsetting.
