This is Slovak filmmaker Matej Mináč's third film telling of Sir Nicholas Winton's remarkable efforts to rescue 669 Czech and Slovak children in 1939 from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia. Winton did not speak of his feat until his wife discovered the scrapbook documenting his deeds 50 years later. When Mináč learned about Winton, he made it his mission to keep the story alive. This gripping documentary highlights the stories of what happened to the rescued children and the impact Winton's feat has had in inspiring others who choose to help heal the planet. They are the "final heroes of Winton's legacy" who at 103, has lived to witness the powerful and poignant impact of his accomplishments.
