DESPERATE HOURS

Directed by Victoria Barrett

In English, 64 minutes, 2001.

At a time when millions were murdered before the eyes of an indifferent world, there were some men, and at times, some governments, who chose to act - not for praise, not for glory, but in the name of simple decency. In doing so they dispel the myths that people were powerless to resist the Nazis. Desperate Hours tells the stories of those precious few, who in the face of utter darkness never lost their sight. This film recounts the little known story of Turkey during the Holocaust.
