Based on the true story of Giorgio Perlasco’s selfless courage in saving over 5,000 Hungarian Jews during WWII, Perlasca jumps off the screen with the energy of a man on a mission. Witnessing the senseless persecution of Jews while in Budapest on business, the Italian Perlasca becomes consumed with the responsibility to do something to save them. Mature content.
