Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Stars ìììì

Perlasca: The Courage of a Just Man—best foreign TV film produced in 2002—uses the skills of Actor Luca Zingaretti to retell a World War II story of one man’s courage to do the right thing in the face of much evil and in that process to save thousands of lives from extinction. Remarkable achievement for Director Alberto Negrin, the producers, music composer, script writer, and the rest of the cast.
