What is moving
Held to the Light
What we are amplifying right now. Every card is the way to the page that sources it, and every page sends you on to the people still carrying the work.
The first films are in production; the pages are ready. This is who is on the current.
This week on the current
The voices we are holding up.
Water · b. 1975Scott Harrison
A burned-out nightclub promoter gave away almost everything he owned, talked his way onto a hospital ship — and turned his own rock bottom into clean water for millions.
Recovery · b. 1984Jelly Roll
He was in a jail cell the day his daughter was born — and years later sat before the U.S. Senate and admitted he had once been part of the problem.
Origin · 1900–1986Chiune Sugihara
Tokyo said no — twice. He hand-wrote visas eighteen hours a day, and kept signing all the way to the train.
Origin · 1885–1954Aristides de Sousa Mendes
He signed visas until his hand gave out — thousands of them — then died penniless and disgraced.
Origin · 1912–1947?Raoul Wallenberg
He saved tens of thousands with paper he invented — then vanished into Soviet custody.
Origin · 1909–2015Nicholas Winton
He rescued 669 children — and said almost nothing about it for fifty years.
