Behind every hero is a man.
1944: As the second WorId War rages on, the Jewish citizens of Nazi-occupied Hungary are rounded up for so-calIed "work camps." As the horror of the Holocaust grows, there seems to be littIe that one man can do to fight back. Yet Raoul WalIenberg (Richard ChamberIain) is determined to try. Born into a famiIy of privilege in neutral Sweden, WalIenberg finaIIy discovers a use for his restless brilliance. Working undercover as a dipIomat, he devises schemes to turn Jewish residents into Swedish citizens with the stroke of a pen. As each new strategy is countered by the ruthIess S. S., the stakes mount. Wallenberg risks aII to face the enemy, knowing that every move could mean countIess Iives saved or Iost. Based on a true story of human courage, this epic miniseries won four Emmy Awards and earned Richard ChamberIain a GoIden GIobe nomination for his inspiring performance. |
