Miracle At Midnight (VCD)

Disney triumphs with Ken Cameron's World War II TV movie based on true events that will grip viewers from the first moment to the last. Set in September, 1945, (five years after the German occupation of Denmark began) word gets out that the Nazis will begin arresting Danish Jews, which ignites a citizens resistance movement. Dr. Koster and his wife Doris find themselves in the middle of the chaos and must choose between ignoring the Jewish plight or helping their neighbors. They choose the latter, risking their lives to hide Rabbi Abrams and his family. Soon, the Kosters are front-runners in a clandestine operation to transport over 7,000 Jews to neutral Sweden, while averting Nazi arrest.
The story of Christian Danes who risked their lives to save their Jewish fellow citizens from the Holocaust is not well known. Sam Waterston and Mia Farrow give outstanding performances. The story is gripping. More important, it will touch your heart. |
