Varian's War

In the Greater German Reich of 1938, the American journalist and appointed dandy Varian Fry (William Hurt) witnesses brutal riots against the Jewish citizenry and, driven by gloomy forebodings, decides to take a stand against barbarism on his own. In the following years, Fry systematically and purposefully smuggles Jewish thinkers, scientists and artists out of Europe, with the help of Miriam Davenport (Julia Ormond), always threatened by the Nazis and often against the resistance of local collaborators and local apostles of neutrality.
