CAA hosts sold-out screening of Quezon’s Game on little-known story of Filipino president who saved Jews during the Holocaust, including Q & A with the director and cast

To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Campaign Against Antisemitism held an exclusive screening of Quezon’s Game, before its UK release date, with the director and leading cast members.

The award-winning film tells how Filipino President Manuel L. Quezon risked his career, his health and his country’s relationship with the United States in order to rescue more than 1,200 imperilled Jews from Nazi persecution at a time when most countries were turning Jewish refugees away.

The screening, at an Everyman cinema in London, was followed by an intimate discussion with the director, Matthew Rosen, and two leading cast members, about how the film was conceived and produced, as well as the reception of the film in the Phillipines and elsewere, and Filipino awareness of the Holocaust and other matters of Jewish and humanitarian interest.
