BOCA RATON, Fla. - April 9, 2013 - PRLog -- COMPLICIT, a short documentary film, premieres on May 6, 2013 at the Movies of Delray in Delray Beach, Florida and continues for a five showing run.  COMPLICIT explores the impact of WWII Jewish refugee issue on the Roosevelt legacy through a mythical courtroom drama that puts Franklin D Roosevelt on trial for complicity in Crimes Against Humanity.  COMPLICIT includes never before seen footage of the US Special Envoy Hannah Rosenthal's powerful expose of America's inadequate response to the Jewish refugee crisis.  Highlights include the 2012 State Department ceremony in which Deputy Secretary of State William Burns makes the first ever apology to a delegation of surviving passengers from the refugee ship, SS St Louis before a delegation of high ranking diplomats and foreign service officers.  COMPLICIT presents rare and candid interviews with these heroic refugees who were turned away by the United States in June 1939, and returned to the US to make extraordinary contributions to American society.  COMPLICIT integrates painful history with compelling drama.

The film COMPLICIT is a production of the SS St Louis Legacy Project Foundation.  The SS St Louis Legacy Project Foundation, a non profit 501C3, is dedicated to education through drama on issues of human rights, anti-Semitism, immigration and the fight against genocide.  The Foundation uses education through drama to educate multi-generation audiences about signal events in world history, including the story of the voyage of the SS St Louis.  Website: stlouislegacyproject.org
