From Swastika to Jim Crow
Before and during the Second World War, Jewish intellectuals and scholars who escaped Nazi Germany and immigrated to the U.S. faced an uncertain future. Confronted with anti-Semitism at major universities and a public distrust of foreigners, a surprising number secured teaching positions at traditionally Black colleges in the segregated South. In many cases they formed lasting relationships with their students and had an important impact on the communities in which they lived and worked. This is a story of two cultures, each sharing a burden of oppression, brought together by the tragic circumstances of war. The film also highlights the role of African Americans such as Ralph Bunche in securing positions for these refugee scholars at places like Howard University, Tougaloo College and Hampton Institute.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
