Nicky's Family is a gripping documentary with dramatic reenactments about a rescue operation that has no parallel in modern history. Englishman Nicholas Winton saved the lives of 669 children at the outbreak of WWII by organizing Kindertransports from Prague to the UK. His story even after 70 years continues to inspire people, especially children, to make this world a better place.
