This TV movie was really good. Sam Waterston, Mia Farrow, Justin Whalin, Nicola Mycroft, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. This true story was intense, dramatic, and inspirational. It's about doing the right thing for your family and friends so they can live for generations. If you're a Disney+ member, you should watch this movie sometime. It's a must see.

Miracle at Midnight (1998) The film starts in Denmark September 1943. Over 700 Jews were evacuated out of Denmark. The film takes place towards the end of September 1943 to October 3, 1943. A film where the Danish people hid Jews from the Natzi’s in homes and hospitals until they were shipped to Sweden. The Danish people heard the word that Nazi’s were going to go after the Jews and put them in concentration camps. The Danish were aware of the way the Nazi’s treated the Jews based upon previous nations. This is a film where I did not think it was very well executed in story telling because it mainly follows one family and I think it could have been told better by getting more from a Jews perspective on the story. The story is worth telling. It was one I was unfamiliar with.

Amazing movie! I loved it a lot. Coming from a history nerd it is verifiably accurate.

Walt Disney takes on the Holocaust. I think that now I have seen it all. Not a bad made-for-tv movie. Just definitely not memorable, and definitely not enough reality...

It's good and not nearly as cheesy as you'd expect.

Disney's take on the Holocaust is like a vitamin enriched piece of white bread. It has lost much of its real flavor after so much processing. It's not so much bad as it is bland.
