(2014)  Narrated by Isabella Rossellini. Would you risk your life to save a stranger and never talk about it?  MY ITALIAN SECRET tells the story of sports idol Gino Bartali, physician Giovanni Borromeo and other Italians worked with Jewish leaders and high-ranking officials of the Catholic Church to carry out ingenious schemes to rescue Jews, partisans and refugees from Nazi-occupied Italy.  Gino Bartali is a sports legend; but his most daring triumph came when he risked his life over and over to save Jews threatened by Nazi extermination.

The Shelburne Line was a World War II escape network operating in occupied France which returned 138 allied servicemen to England in 1943-44.  The French Resistance located downed airmen and hid them from the Germans through a series of safe-houses.  Once a month, during the dark of the moon, the men were transported to the Brittany coast to meet a British motor gun boat that would return them to England.  Presenter Rick Feingold recounts the story of how his father, Lt. Louis Feingold, a B-17 U.S. Army Air Force navigator, escaped Nazi capture.
