* THE RESCUERS

USA, 2011 (94 min.) DOC

Dir. Michael King

No, it's not about anthropomorphic swamp mice (sorry). An old, rumpled British historian and a beautiful, poised refugee from the Rwandan Civil War team up to explore various instances of European diplomats intervening to save Jewish lives during World War II. Then the pair confront modern-day diplomats about what diplomacy could do for current and recently past bloodshed in Africa. The documentary feels a bit overproduced, but the sentiments and historical anecdotes are fascinating. (LINDY WEST)
