A television mini series. In 1940, Varian Fry traveled to Marseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists and writers to help escape within a few weeks. He stayed more than a year, working to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and arrange journeys across Spain and Portugal, where the refugees would embark for safer ports. Among those artists and writers were Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Marc Chagall.
