Documentary by Lillian Liberman on Mexican support to Spanish antifascists between 1939 and 1943 (English subtitled), in collaboration with Embajada de México.

In his own words and those of people who knew him and the people he rescued, Gilberto Bosques describes his experiences in Marseilles as Mexico´s Consul General in France between 1939 and 1942, where he saved thousands of Spanish Republicans, Jews, socialists, communists and all sorts of people who were fleeing the Nazis.
