This is the remarkable, true story of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese Consul General stationed in Bordeaux, France, during World War II. His government had issued strict orders to all its diplomats to deny visas to Holocaust refugees seeking to escape Occupied Europe through Portugal. Sousa Mendes defied these orders and issued Portuguese visas to an estimated 30,000 people described by the Holocaust scholar Yehuda Bauer as "perhaps the largest rescue action by a single individual during the Holocaust."

Special Guests: Harry Oesterreicher, son and grandson of Sousa Mendes Visa Recipients and Michael Spett, a Sousa Mendes Visa Recipient
