Overview
The Port of Last Resort presents the little-known story of nearly 20,000 European Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai in the years 1938-41, seeking a safe haven from the Nazis. This lost world is revealed through stories of survivors, and a dazzling collage of rare and remarkable film footage. An enthralling score by avant-garde composer John Zorn punctuates this story of exile and resilience.
