El Rescate - The Rescue is a biographical documentary film with live music about the life and deeds of Salvadoran diplomat José Arturo Castellanos, who, as El Salvador's Consul General in Geneva during the Holocaust, issued certificates of Salvadoran citizenship to Jewish families in Europe, offering them protection from Nazi persecution. In interviews, montages and accompanied by live orchestral music, El Rescate immerses us in Castellanos' life.
Filmmakers Álvaro and Boris Castellanos, grandsons of José Arturo Castellanos, present their cinematic documentary live accompanied by classical Afro-Cuban music and Latin jazz arrangements by Álvaro Castellanos and Hilario Durán.
