This performative film experience combines a 60-min documentary film with a lively musical performance of its musical soundtrack to recount the little-known story of “Righteous Among the Nations” Colonel José Arturo Castellanos. Castellanos saved thousands of Jewish lives during the Holocaust by issuing Salvadoran nationality certificates while working as a diplomat, putting his life and family at great risk. This ground-breaking Film-Concerto concept was developed by filmmakers Alvaro and Boris Castellanos, grandsons of Colonel Castellanos, as an emotionally engaging and uplifting way to tell the story of their grandfather.
