The true story of “Latvia’s Schindler,” The Mover offers a gripping account of Zanis Lipke, a blue-collar Luftwaffe worker in Soviet- and German-occupied Latvia. Lipke risked everything to save local Jews from Nazi persecution and death by secretly moving them from the Riga ghetto to an underground bunker on his property. From the moment the film begins, director Davis Simanis creates an ominous and suspenseful atmosphere in which the viewer, like Lipke himself, is a reluctant eyewitness to unfolding horrors. Lipke is credited with saving about a quarter of the Jews in Latvia—and is honored as one of the “Righteous Among the Nations” for his heroic deeds.
