Today on The Roundtable with Robert Bannon, I’m joined by Emmy-winning filmmaker Nick Davis, whose latest documentary, This Ordinary Thing, delves into the untold stories of non-Jews across Europe who risked everything to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Using never-before-seen archival footage alongside first-person testimonies of over forty individuals, Davis crafts a powerful narrative of quiet courage in the face of unimaginable horror.
In our conversation, Nick and I explore the inspiration behind the project, how ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary situations, and what the film’s message means for today’s world — asking the provocative question: What would you have done? With insights from a cast of celebrated actors and a stirring score, the documentary goes beyond history to reflect on morality, identity, and the ripple effects of kindness. Leave the episode with the conviction that even one person’s act can shine a light in the darkest places — because the best is yet to come.
