Dana and Tom, for their 250th episode and 5th Anniversary, discuss the 1993 Best Picture winner, Schindler's List: directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Steven Zaillian, music by John Williams, cinematography by Janusz Kaminski, starring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes.

Plot Summary: Schindler’s List is a powerful film exposing the horrors of the Holocaust and the capacity for redemption in the face of unimaginable evil. Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) is a German businessman whose war profiteering led him to exploit Jewish labor in Nazi-occupied Poland. However, what begins as opportunism transforms into something deeply human as Schindler witnesses the systematic brutality inflicted upon his workers. With quiet urgency, he shifts from bystander to savior, risking everything to shield more than a thousand Jews from certain death. Schindler’s List is not just a great film but a necessary one.
