Project Overview
EXODUS 47 tells the true story of the Exodus ship in 1947 and its young American crew, as it raced the mighty British Navy across the seas in order to save 4500 refugees, who were smuggled through a haunting post war Europe. The story was made famous when the British violently stopped the boat in international waters outside of Palestine and returned all the refugees back to where they came from, Germany. This is the true story of the mission and crew, not the Leon Uris story.
Our version centers around John Grauel, a wunderkind, young Minister from New England, who joined the mission after tragically losing his forbidden love and their child in childbirth. Alone and shaken, he discovers a symmetry between his loss and the unfolding plight of the refugees from WWII, and chooses to risk his life with this young American crew to save them.
