This documentary gathers together several witnesses and historians to tell the tale of Hannah Senesh. Hannah was a poet from Hungary whose life was turned upside-down during the rule of Hitler. Even though she was not in immediate danger, she took the risk of helping Jewish families to escape the Nazi regime. In punishment for this, she was apprehended by the Nazis herself and sent to prison camp, but this only made her poetry more powerful. It now stands as the legacy of a poet who was also a hero.
