In 1948, just three years after the liberation of Nazi death camps, a group of Jewish American pilots answered a call for help. At great personal risk, they smuggled planes out of the US, trained behind the Iron Curtain in Czechoslovakia, and flew for Israel in its War of Independence. This ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war, but also embarked on personal journeys of discovery, sacrifice, and renewed Jewish pride. Above and Beyond is their story.

An accomplished businesswoman, fundraiser, and philanthropist, producer Nancy Spielberg has in recent years turned her energy and talents to producing documentary films. She served as consultant on the Oscar-winning documentary Chernobyl Heart and was executive producer of Elusive Justice: The Search for Nazi War Criminals on PBS. Ms. Spielberg also produced Celebrities Salute Israel's 60th, a project for the Israeli government, which was featured in Times Square on the NASDAQ screens for one month.

Join filmmaker Nancy Spielberg as she introduces the film and takes questions after the screening.
