Frontier – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
Spain, Spanish with English subtitles
Judith Colell
Feature: 97 minutes
Set in 1943, Frontier tells the true story of a Spanish customs officer who quietly helps Jewish refugees escape Nazi-occupied France — one life at a time. As his solitary acts of defiance grow into an underground rescue effort, he and his wife are forced to confront the lingering trauma of the Spanish Civil War and the very real danger posed by Nazi patrols along the border. Every choice carries risk, and silence itself becomes a moral decision. Tense, humane, and deeply moving, Frontier honors the courage of ordinary people who, in a moment of history’s greatest darkness, chose to act — knowing the cost, and acting anyway.
