This award-winning Latvian feature film
offers a gripping account of Žanis Lipke, a
blue-collar worker honoured as one of the
'Righteous Among the Nations' for his
heroic deeds during the war. Despite his
family’s hardship under successive Soviet
and German occupations, Lipke
embarked on a covert operation to save
local Jews from Nazi persecution and
certain death, moving them from the Riga
ghetto to an underground bunker hidden
on his property. From the start, filmmaker
Davis Simanis creates a powerfully
ominous and suspenseful atmosphere,
positioning the viewer, like Lipke, as a
reluctant eyewitness to unfolding horrors.
