Orchestra of Exiles tells the story Bronislaw Huberman's 4-year journey, which ends with the establishment of the orchestra that will one day become the Israel Philharmonic. His fascinating story touches on many of the key figures in 20th century music, while his dramatic life is turbulent and exciting. Huberman's exceptional efforts saved hundreds of Jewish families from the approaching Holocaust, while his achievements changed the landscape of cultural history. Before the Nazis' rise to power, Huberman was focused only on his successful career; however, once he understood Hitler's goals, he could no longer ignore them and was compelled to act. Huberman's personal transformation and his heroic struggle to save Jewish musicians from Europe and form the philharmonic orchestra are at the center of this film, featuring Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta, Pinchas Zukerman, Joshua Bell and others.
