Transatlantic is inspired by Julie Orringer's novel The Flight Portfolio, which tells the true story of the international gang of young heroes, Varian Fry, Mary Jayne Gold, Albert Hirschman and the Emergency rescue Committee (ERC), who risked their lives to rescue over 2000 refugees during World War II.
Set in Marseille in 1940, after the fall of Paris, Transatlantic follows the adventures of the ERC, who help writers, artists and other refugees escape Nazi-occupied France, despite the perilous dangers they face.
