A Filipino-made movie that dramatizes former President Manuel L. Quezon’s decision to welcome into the Philippines more than a thousand Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and Austria even before World War 2 erupted was finally premiered in Israel.

Entitled “Quezon’s Game,” the movie was shown to start the Second Philippine Film Festival in Tel Aviv last October 27 with more than 200 guests, including Israeli government officials and members of the diplomatic corps in attendance.

Initially distributed in December last year by Star Cinema, the movie explores the events behind Quezon’s decision and the obstacles he had to overcome to bring Jewish refugees to the country.
