NEVER ALONE

With Ville Virtane, Karl Hietalahti

Many heroes of Jewish resistance to the Nazis are still relatively unknown decades after WWII.  In the hands of Klaus Härö (THE FENCER), the story of a risky maneuver by Jewish Helsinki businessman Abraham Stiller to save the lives of eight refugees comes to the screen with immense heart and impressive period veracity.  Even as Finland appeared to be a haven for Jews fleeing the Nazis, the government forms an alliance with Nazi Germany against Russia.  Stiller, wealthy, respected, and well-connected in political circles, calls in every favor and puts his life, reputation and business on the line to mount a clandestine mission to save the eight Jewish men scheduled for deportation to a death camp.  In Swedish, Yiddish, Russian, Hebrew, English, Finnish and German with English subtitles.
