Distancias is a Spanish 2008 short documentary film.

Synopsis

A group of refugees from the Congo are stuck in Rabat, Morocco. The Spanish borderline stops them from entering Europe. In a room on the outskirts of the city they rehearse a theatrical piece based on their own experiences. An imperfect, unfinished staging. Real life and the stage are all mixed together. Apollinaire tells us, face to face, about the never-ending journey with an uncertain ending. Television images show us how many emigrants are expelled into the desert, forced to start their journey once more. Faces whose names are lost. Behind them, the empty spaces of what has already happened. Silent tracks that tell a story the same as ours.

Heidi's mother, Mai Thi Kim, already had three children and was estranged from her husband Do Huu Vinh, who had left her to fight with the Viet Cong. She was working at an American military base where she met Heidi's father, an American serviceman. When the North Vietnamese army came closer to Danang, Mai Thi Kim feared for Heidi's safety due to rumors of retaliation against mixed-race children. At the age of six, Heidi was sent to United States and placed in an orphanage run by the Holt Adoption Agency.

"La famille de Nicky" est l'histoire extraordinaire de Nicholas Winton, surnommé le Schnindler britannique, qui avant le début de la seconde guerre mondiale, entre mars et août 1939, a sauvé 669 enfants tchèques et slovaques, pour la plupart juifs, du génocide nazi. Le film mêle fiction, documents d'archives inédits, et témoignages émouvants des protagonistes de cette histoire, parmi lesquels Nicholas Winton en personne et Joe Schlesinger, journaliste à la CBC et narrateur du film. La "famille" de Nicholas Winton compte aujourd'hui plus de 5 000 personnes dans le monde entier, qui lui doivent la vie.
