NICKY'S FAMILY illuminates the legacy of a pre-WWII mass rescue of children. In December 1938, Sir Nicholas Winton-then a London stockbroker-masterminded a series of rail-sea transports to save 669 young Czech and Slovak refugees, most of them Jewish and in imminent danger of deportation. Not even Winton's wife knew of his noble acts until a scrapbook detailing the mission was uncovered in 1988. Audience Award prizes at the prestigious Karlovy Vary International and Montreal World Film Festivals.
