This “inspiring” (The New York Times) documentary shares the previously untold story of how the five Frieder brothers — Cincinnati businessmen making two-for-a-nickel cigars in pre-WWII Manila, together with Manuel Quezon, the charismatic first president of the Philippines, Paul McNutt, US High Commissioner and former governor of Indiana, and an ambitious Army Colonel named Dwight Eisenhower — helped 1,200 Jews escape the Nazis and immigrate to the Philippines.
Immediately following the film, executive producer Russell Hodge will lead a talkback with guests, exploring the film’s content and creative process.
Asia Society is thrilled to present this program in collaboration with American Jewish Committee Houston Region and the Consulate General of the Philippines.
