Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Nina Lagergren, Raoul's sister, Raoul had become increasingly frustrated over not being able to do anything about the unbearable scenes he had been witnessing. In the winter if 1942 the two spent an evening at a private film show put on by the British embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, where Pimpernel Smith was playing; she claimed "on the way home he told me that was just the kind of thing he would like to do." Two years later Wallenberg carried out just the same exploits as his role-model on a rescue mission in Budapest.

Featured review
Raoul Wallenberg might not be one of the most recognizable names, but he was responsible for one of the noblest acts in the 20th century. He saved thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary.
Kjell Grede's "God afton, Herr Wallenberg" ("Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg") focuses on this, with Stellan Skarsgård playing the Swedish diplomat. The movie - Sweden's submission to the Academy Awards for Best Foreign-Language Film that year - casts him as someone who initially didn't take much in the events across Europe but soon realized that he had to take a moral stand. As the recently deceased Desmond Tutu said, neutrality helps the oppressor.
Excellent movie. Definitely see it.
