Often compared to Oskar Schindler, Giorgio Perlasca is the lesser-known Italian hero who saved the lives of several thousand Jews during the Holocaust. His amazing story is told in Perlasca: The Courage Of A Just Man which finally comes to DVD for the first time.
Luca Zingaretti from BBC hit series Montalbano plays Georgio Perlasca, an Italian cattle dealer who found himself trapped in Budapest in 1944. Witness to the violent treatment of Jews, he sacrifices his own freedom to save thousands of lives. With a striking score from Oscar-winning master composer Ennio Moricone, Perlasca: The Courage Of A Just Man is launched in the UK on DVD on 8 April 2013 courtesy of Odyssey.
