We were living in Japan when we first saw this moving film. Sugihara-san was in the news since the Japanese government had finally acknowledged his humanitarian work during the war. What a special vantage point for viewing this particular movie! We were fortunate to know one of the members of the production staff on the film, so we were aware of the budget limitations. However, this lack was more than compensated for by the enthusiasm and dedication of all participants in seeing it completed. It is most worthy of the accolades heaped upon it. The story is compelling, the acting is outstanding and all the production values are on the screen. Filming the piece in black and white gave it just the right vintage look. A big, "Arigato gozaimasu" (thank you) to everyone who persisted in seeing this picture become a reality. Generations to come who see it will also be grateful.
