Based on true facts, and supported by testimonies and archival images, DEAR AMBASSADOR tells the story of Luiz de Souza Dantas, the Brazilian ambassador who in World War II objected to the express and secret orders of Getúlio Vargas, which prohibited our embassies from giving Brazilian Visas to "Jews and other undesirables". He goes on to disregard these orders, defying Vargas, the French Government, and Nazism. He approved more than a thousand diplomatic visas, all granted to those persecuted by the Nazi regime.
