Shanghai Ghetto

Last Minute Sales & Specials

One of the most amazing and captivating survival tales of WWII, the overwhelmingly acclaimed "Shanghai Ghetto" has been declared "a don't miss documentary...powerful...eye-opening" (New York Observer). Stirringly narrated by Academy Award(R) winner Martin Landau ("Ed Wood," "The Majestic"), "Shanghai Ghetto" recalls the strange-but-true story of thousands of European Jews who were shut out of country after country while trying to escape Nazi persecution in the late 1930s. Left without options or entrance visas, a beacon of hope materialized for them on the other side of the world, and in the unlikeliest of places, Japanese-controlled Shanghai. Fleeing for their lives, these Jewish refugees journeyed to form a settlement in the exotic city, penniless and unprepared for their new life in the Far East.
