Many Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany found, like the 907 passengers on the cruise ship St. Louis, that "a passport stamped 'J' was a passport to nowhere."

Cuban officials nullified their entry permits and the U.S. government denied them admission. In present-day interviews plus archival footage and photographs, passengers relive the cruise that became a voyage into limbo. The program’s almost understated tone contrasts with the urgency of the issues it raises: anti-Semitism, quota systems for refugees, and worldwide immigration policies today.

Quantities are limited.
