Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast)

Against The Tide examines the conflict that erupted in the American Jewish community over the best means to rescue the European Jews trying to escape the Holocaust. It tells the little known story of Peter Bergson, who tirelessly stood up against American Jewish leaders in the late 30's and early 40's in an effort to save the Jews of Europe.
Why It's FilmBuff
This is a movie about the untold battles of World War II, the stuggles of one man in America doing everything in his power to help the Jews across the sea in Europe. Activism within America held a great importance as well as American's international involvement, yet it is so rarely highlighted.
