It's 1937: Belle defies the Nazi regime by attempting to rescue Otto Homburger, an art historian labeled "non-Aryan" because of his Jewish ancestry. Today, Anne-Marie reconnects with Binalakshmi Nepram, a women’s rights and disarmament activist exiled from India, whom she hosted at Harvard through the Scholars at Risk Program—a global organization inspired by Belle’s fearless actions. Together they explore leadership, courage, and social justice, examining Belle’s legacy in the ongoing fight for human rights and academic freedom.
