A visionary yet often overlooked leader, Henrietta Szold transformed the 20th century by founding Hadassah, building a modern health-care system in Palestine rooted in equality for Arabs and Jews, and later rescuing 11,000 children from Nazi Europe through Youth Aliyah. This heartfelt documentary, directed by Peabody award-winner Abby Ginzberg, brings long-overdue recognition to Szold, offering a thought-provoking look at a woman who reshaped history through compassion and an unwavering belief in the power of humanity.
