Hi, my name is Jonathan Franklin.

I'm the author of Latin American Shindler.

I've forgotten here of the 20th century.

One of the amazing things about the tragedy of human rights and

Chile, and particularly of the Pinochet dictatorship, is that

Chile learned so many lessons that they were able to export their

kind of democracy lessons to the world.

And given that we have migration issues all over the planet that

we have all sorts of mistaken beliefs about migrants being

criminals and migrants being demonized, I thought it was rather

interesting to go back and look at a classic of diplomacy in

which human rights for the forefront and which saving migrants was

noble. It seemed to me that most of our diplomatic efforts these days

are not focused on that.

So I was really intrigued by this idea that one person could make

such a big difference in a massive migrant crisis and show the

story of migrants in a way that wasn't either racist or

derogatory.

Here was just a really honorable diplomat putting his life on

the line time after time, which is kind of what I always thought diplomats

were supposed to do.
