This is apparently a made for TV movie I got on video from my local library (since it says it's an EMMY AWARD winner).
The film is an apparently true tale of a town in France that harbored many Jewish children--saving them from the Nazis. Despite considerable risk, they were able to save a lot of kids.
The acting is excellent as is the writing. I have no serious complaints at all, though I think the ending could have been wrapped up a little better. This film would be an excellent film to to older kids and teens to help make some sense of the Holocaust and let us know at least SOME people cared to make a difference.
