[ Story ]
Biopic about the Showa-era diplomat Sugihara Chiune, known as Japan's Schindler. Japan-born American director Cellin Gluck delivers a heavy-hitting portrayal of Chiune's life. The cast features talented actors from Japan and Poland.
In the midst of World War Two, Chiune (Karasawa Toshiaki) engaged in information warfare as an overseas intelligence officer, but he deeply empathized with the plight of Jewish refugees facing Nazi persecution in Lithuania. In defiance of Japanese government policy, he issued numerous visas and saved the lives of some 6,000 refugees.
