The video is a documentary pitch by Kim Brattain Media that frames the current refugee crisis—described as the largest migration since World War II—as a human tragedy demanding honest storytelling. The speakers draw historical parallels to the Nazi invasion of Hungary, highlighting a headmistress who protected Jewish students, and note that the same school now houses a church offering sanctuary to refugees. They invoke the Christian narrative that Jesus himself was a refugee, linking the story to the upcoming Christmas season. The production emphasizes a commitment to present the story without media spin, focusing on real people—mothers, fathers, children, friends—who are suffering. The appeal culminates in a fundraising request for Mission Filmworks, positioning a donation as an "act of trust" to enable the film’s creation.

Chapters

There is real evil in this world, and we ought not to be shy about that or naive about it. We are experiencing the largest migration of people since World War II. We are in a place like that now in the Middle East for many countries, including and especially Syria, where the rule of law, the fabric of society, the comforts of home and family What this production company is about to do is to make a very bold move to meet with people, people that we only speak about in terms of our fear and our anxiety, who are suffering and have been persecuted by the very ones that we too are rightfully frightened of and concerned about in this world.
The film is about the story of a young woman Depending on which newscast you listen to, there's always the spin, and we want to do this without the spin and show a real picture of what's happening.
The Nazi army invaded Hungary and occupied it. The headmistress did not go home. She instead protected her students, many of them Jewish, from the horrors of the Holocaust. It is in that school that there is now a church providing space and love and prayer to help refugees begin again.
We don't want history to repeat itself, and we don't want to stand by and We're talking about mothers and fathers and children, friends.
We're about to enter the Christmas season, and Jesus was a refugee. He had to flee his country in order to be protected. The refugee crisis is not new.
We really want to show this human tragedy the best way we can, in the most honest way that we can, and we really need your help to, to do this. So please consider a donation to Mission Filmworks today.
A gift is an act of trust.
