This documentary is about a young rabbi in Berlin during the 1930's who refused to be silent and sought to restore the self-esteem of German jews. He saved many lives by encouraging Jews to leave Germany. Prinz went on to became a leader of the civil rights movement after being expelled from Germany. He organized the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and spoke just before Martin Luter King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. This documentary follows Joachim Prinz as a pillar of anti-bigotry seeking to make real change.
