The Power of Good: Nicholas Winton(2003)

The Power of Good: Nicholas Winton is a documentary about an English stockbroker who saved 669 children from Nazi-occupied Prague. In 1939, 29-year-old Nicholas Winton organized eight transports to bring refugee children to safety in Britain, then kept his extraordinary work secret for nearly fifty years. When his wife discovered a scrapbook in 1988, the full scope of his mission came to light. The film traces how Winton, sensing the danger facing Jewish families, quietly forged documents and coordinated with foster parents across Britain and Sweden to shelter the young refugees. Once the children arrived and were handed over to their new families, Winton lost touch with them entirely, unaware of the lives he had transformed. His story is one of quiet courage and moral clarity in the face of impending catastrophe.
