- Synopsis
- A different World War II story, about the Vatican's Msgr. Hugh O'Flaherty's real-life efforts to hide and help thousands of Allied escaped prisoners of war throughout the war. Undercover, he formed an organization to rescue and help escaped prisoners of war maintain their freedom from the Nazis. With the help of many Italians, religious, and diplomats stationed in Rome, he secretly worked throughout the entire war. His unstinting charity endears him to all, and saved the lives of thousands.
