Voyage of the Damned (1976) 3 minutes trailer

Описание: The incredible story of the ship that shamed the world.
In 1939, Germany's Hamburg-America Line announced a voyage from Germany to Cuba. 937 people, the vast majority being Jews, signed up for the opportunity to escape Nazi Germany. Unbeknownst to the passengers, the visas they purchased were from a corrupt Cuban director of immigration, and they were invalid. Upon arrival in Havana, only 28 people were allowed to disembark, while the rest remained on board for weeks as they sailed to Florida, and eventually Canada, searching for safe haven. Sadly the ship returned to Antwerp after more than a month at sea. Forced back under Nazi rule as the low countries fell, it is estimated that approximately 250 of the refugees died in the extermination camps in occupied Poland.
“Based on a horrific real-life incident and featuring an enormous cast of international stars. The luminaries on display in ‘Voyage of the Damned’ are impressive.” - Every 70s Movie
“The heartbreaking story is complemented by an impressive cast. ‘Voyage of the Damned’ is an impressive film about a human tragedy that took place just before the Second World War.” – Cinemagazine (Dutch)
“Poignant and painfully heartbreaking, the movie follows many of the individual refugees' desperate journey - their hopes, fears, tears and brutal treatment at the hands of the Nazis. This is one voyage that should be taken.” - Eye for Film
