One Life
A determined British stockbroker races against looming Nazi oppression to smuggle hundreds of Jewish children out of Czechoslovakia, risking his own safety to forge a lifeline that could change history.
“Save one life, save the world.”
Synopsis
British stockbroker Nicholas Winton travels to Czechoslovakia in the 1930s and begins organizing efforts to rescue Jewish children before the start of World War II, in an operation later known as the Kindertransport.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
