Abstract:

The history of World War II tells many remarkable tales of heroism and courage. But no story is more compelling or inspirational than that of Chiune Sugihara. In the face of the Nazi onslaught in Europe, at great risk to his career and life, he single-handedly saved more than 2,000 lives, using his power as a diplomat to rescue fleeing Jewish refugees. This award-winning documentary tells the remarkable story of Sugihara and his family and chronicles the fascinating relationship between the Japanese and the Jews during the 1930`s and 1940`s. Sugihara. Conspiracy of Kindness is a celebration of the selfless humanitarian spirit and a testament to the powerful statement that: One man can make a difference.
