Emmy-winning filmmaker Michael King presents this powerful film that follows Stephanie Nyombayire, a young Rwandan anti-genocide activist who lost 100 members of her family in the Rwandan Genocide. Traveling across 15 countries and three continents, Nyombayire and Sir Martin Gilbert, renowned British Holocaust historian, interview survivors and descendants of 13 courageous Non-Jewish diplomats who saved tens of thousands of Jews from Nazi death camps.
