The true story of Žani Lipke, a Latvian blue-collar worker, and his wife Johanna, who ran a covert operation to save local Jews from Nazi persecution and certain death. At the risk of endangering their own family, the Lipkes transported Jews from the Riga ghetto to an underground bunker hidden on their property. This award-winning film shines a light on Lipke’s remarkable heroism and demonstrates the human capacity for bravery in the face of evil.
