WAVES OF FREEDOM & THE JOURNEY TO GOLDAS BALCONY (Double Feature)

Director: Alan Rosenthal 53 min.
Waves of Freedom recounts, through firsthand recollections and archival footage, the fascinating story of rescuing Jews from displaced persons camps. Their mission: Bringing them to Palestine. In 1947, Paul Kay and 25 other Americans were recruited by the Haganah to accomplish this. The plan was fraught with danger-conquering rough seas, and meeting head on with the British Naval blockade. This untold story is full of adventure, humor, bravery and above all resolve and perseverance.
