Interfaith Documentary Film, Two Who Dared, Being Screened across the Country

No Limits Media to preview Two Who Dared: The Sharps' War at churches, synagogues and theaters world-wide during April. Martha and Waitstill Sharp leave their children in the care of their parish to go to Prague to aid imperiled refugees at the onset of World War II.

Sherborn, MA (PRWEB) April 10, 2013

Two Who Dared: The Sharps’ War, a documentary film that was ten years in the making, is now being released through a grassroots effort at churches, synagogues and theaters worldwide. TWO WHO DARED tells the story of a Unitarian minister, Waitstill Sharp and his wife Martha who, just days prior to the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, left their young children in Wellesley, Massachusetts to help save thousands being persecuted in Eastern Europe.

The film will be previewed in the next few days at the following locations and many more screenings are planned throughout the country in the coming weeks. For additional screenings and more information, visit the Two Who Dared website:

The film will have its official premiere at the Boston International Film Festival on April 14th at 1 pm at the Loews / AMC Cineplex in Boston. Attend any of these screenings and dare to be inspired by this remarkable story of courage and sacrifice.

Who were these American heroes? What drove their willingness to put the wellbeing of strangers over that of themselves and their family? What would you dare to do in order to help just one other person?

I'd like to believe that I would travel to Czechoslovakia in those circumstances; but I really can't.
