During the Second World War, thousands of Jewish refugees could escape the Holocaust in Europe through Japan. The visas issued by Chiune Sugihara, Japanese vice-consul in Kaunas (Lithuania), are known as Visas for Life.
The documentary tells the authentic story through the eyes of survivors, inviting you to join a tremendous journey, which starts in Poland, crosses different continents and ends in Israel, Canada, New Zealand, the USA, and other new homelands.
It is not just a story about Sugihara. This is a story about the numerous named and unnamed heroes, who made this path possible by forming a chain of courage and goodwill.
By following the stories of survivors, the documentary shows that every single link in this long chain of courage was essential.
Language of the movie: English with English subtitles.
The movie was created by Aurelijus Zykas, Kristijonas Jakubsonas, and Linas Didvalis with generous support by Toshiba International Foundation.
