This Academy Award winning documentary explores the critical post World War II period from 1945 - 1948 and the plight of tens of thousands of refugees who survived the Nazi Holocaust and their often-illegal attempts to get to the Jewsih homeland. It explores how the world turned its back on these forgotten people and the world events that led to the creation of the State of Israel. The Long Way Home is narrated by Morgan Freeman and features the voices of Edward Asner, Sean Astin, Martin Landau, Miriam Margoyles, David Paymer and Nina Siemaszko.
