It was directed by Australian minister and archeologist Gary Kent, co-produced by Robyn Kent and Marta Fuchs, and was filmed in Marta's hometown of Tokaj, Hungary in 2019. Fragments of Jewish life in Tokaj are depicted, and included are interviews of the rescuer's grandson and great granddaughter, Marta Fuchs and her brother Henry Fuchs.
