Description

Oscar® and Emmy winner Allie Light’s The Ship That Turned Back also draws on a mix of elements in letting late husband/collaborator Irving Saraf recall his Jewish family’s harrowing flight from Nazi-occupied Poland. It took them from Vienna to Trieste to Malta, then finally Palestine, dodging bombs and the custody of opposing armies en route.
